Origin: This collaboration, a vibrant homage to Frieda Rapoport Caplan, captures her pioneering spirit in revolutionizing the grocery sector by introducing exotic fruits to the American market. The design pays tribute to Caplan's legacy and her bold vision, specifically the introduction of the kiwi, now a common staple. This model is a testament to her entrepreneurial drive and the evolution of American luxury, redefining it with every stitch and hue.
Construction: The upper is meticulously crafted, combining perforated suede, flat suede, and textured, hairy suede overlays, complemented by breathable mesh underlays. Reflective 3M accents, including the iconic 'N' logo in neon green, ensure visibility and add a touch of modern flair. The midsole incorporates ABZORB cushioning in the heel and forefoot, alongside an ENCAP and C-CAP dual-density midsole, providing unparalleled comfort.

Originally conceived as a state-of-the-art running shoe, it has transitioned seamlessly into the realm of fashion, providing both performance and style. The shoe's design, with its chunky profile and elevated forefoot stack, contributes to a distinct feel.
