Established Brand
VOR was founded in 2010 with the straight goal in mind to create and produce clean and minimalistic sneakers.
Since we both agreed, that the name had to be German, we came up with ‘VOR’.
Our first pairs were produced in Vietnam until we came across a small manufactory in the south of Germany in 2014, that allowed us to create a brand that has its roots close to us as founders and to proudly label our shoes as ‘made in germany’.
And besides our value-chain being almost entirely German, from leather to laces and eyelets, all of our shoe models carry German labelled colours, such as ‘nebelweiss’ or ‘nachtschwarz’ for example.
Additionally, our product range offers five different generations with low cut styles declared as A’s as well as mid cut and high-top styles declared as B’s, that all guarantee a great combination of classic styles and highest quality.
“This label reassures us that our quality standards for our shoes have definitely been met. The label also lets you know that you’re wearing a shoe that hasn’t already travelled the world – until you put them on, anyway.”
In addition to the durability of our products, none of our shoes are bound to hypes or trends.
Since we focus on classic and minimalistic styles, VOR shoes can be worn in any season and can be matched with almost any clothing style, from street wear to high end.
Another unique point is the location of our manufactory.
Other than most sneaker brands our products are handcrafted in Germany, which grants fair conditions for our workers and a transparent production with no secrets.
Since the employees (in Pirmasens) are mutually enthusiastic and precise about our products, we really appreciate the familiar atmosphere and the human interactions along the process.
The location of production also leads us to the next principle, which is sustainability.
Although we have never explicitly put our focus on sustainability, our ‘Made in Germany’ label and product history are self-explanatory.
“Our intention to found/start VOR never was to specifically produce or design for the markets, but to create a high-quality sneaker that matches our own style and beliefs.
Staying true to ourselves allowed us to comeup with modern/contemporary interpretations of classic shoe styles that precisely fulfil both, our own and the customer’s needs.”
