Do you still play? Play is fundamental, a hard-wired universal concept. We come into the world knowing how to eat, breathe, sleep… and play. These human essentials cut across cultures, politics, ethnicities and gender. Play is a constant that still remains ever-changing, reinvented daily by kids and limited only by their boundless imaginations. But there is an artificial line between kids and adults when it comes to play. Our goal is to erase that line and harness the power of play for everyone—starting with shredding the notion of age limits, of growing up, of losing that spirit of joy. On our journey, we start by asking ourselves, and the world, "Do you still PLAE?" There's a reason why people have an obsession with shoes. It's always held a coveted place in the world of fashion. That's because the process of making shoes is an age old craft. And like any craft, it takes a lot of skill. We'd like to take you behind the scenes through the making of PLAE, from Ryan's inspirations to the final touches. Every pair of PLAE shoes has been hand-crafted by a team of workers, with many pairs of hands adding their special touch to each pair that arrives at your door. We're saluting the craft that goes into shoemaking and hope you enjoy learning more about us! Fun facts: The process takes more than 300 steps from beginning to end It takes 18 months to make a shoe, from concept to finished product Every logo embossed on a tab is done
