Kamo-Gutsu is no ordinary shoe brand. This Belgian label, founded in 2014 by Freddy Dreesens, uniquely blends style, history, and craftsmanship. The designs are inspired by sports and casual shoes from the 1920s and 1930s, resulting in a retro look with a modern twist. Every pair radiates character, color, and quality.

What truly sets Kamo-Gutsu apart is the story behind its name. The brand is named after an ancient Japanese sport called kemari, a precursor to modern football. In the 7th century, this elegant ball game was played by members of the Japanese aristocracy and emphasized grace, agility, and cooperation. The players wore special shoes shaped like a duck's beak—hence the brand name:

  • kamo = duck
  • gutsu = shoe
    Together: duck shoe

This cultural nod perfectly matches the brand’s playful and unconventional spirit.

Kamo-Gutsu shoes are handcrafted in the Marche region of Italy, a place renowned for its high-quality artisanal shoemaking. Since 2021, part of the collection is also produced in Portugal, where comfort and sustainability take center stage. Each pair is a thoughtful blend of Italian leather, bold color combinations, vintage influences, and modern finishes.

Rather than following mainstream trends, Kamo-Gutsu encourages you to explore your own style—cheerful, creative, and full of personality. With two new collections each year and a presence in over ten countries, the brand is building a loyal following of people who prefer sneakers with a story.

Kamo-Gutsu is more than a shoe. It’s a fusion of history, design, and comfort. A brand for those who dare to stand out.
