FALL | HOLIDAY 2012

Creative Recreation. The original lifestyle footwear brand.

Founded in the Fall of 2002, the founders recognized an opportunity that the industry was overlooking. They set out to create high quality footwear that addressed the needs of an emerging lifestyle consumer. They designed footwear that they would like to wear. Combining the best attributes of two footwear categories, the comfort of a sneaker with the materialization of a dress shoe, the ultimate crossbreed of lifestyle footwear was born. Creativity is a driving force throughout the company, and invention lies at the heart of the brand. Their passion for pioneering this market 10 years ago is the driving force inspiring Creative Recreation to continually recreate the future of lifestyle footwear today.
