Filling Pieces Sneakers
Filling Pieces is a sneaker brand that was established in 2009 by designer Guillaume Philibert. The Amsterdam-based brand aims to unite luxury fashion with streetwear by crafting unique, expertly made sneakers.
History
Guillaume Philibert founded Filling Pieces with the goal of creating high-quality sneakers that were more affordable than traditional luxury brands. It quickly gained a loyal following due to its exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and use of premium materials. Filling Pieces sneakers became highly sought after by fashion-conscious individuals and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
The first Filling Pieces collection was produced in Philibert's first year, featuring a Low Top silhouette. He spent time talking to people within his own personal network to get feedback. Everyone was immediately impressed, a perfect start for the fledgling company. He then went on to create the Filling Pieces Low Top, Mondo, and Ghost models.
Sneaker Design
Filling Pieces sneakers are known for their distinctive and contemporary designs. They're a brand that are known for incorporating minimalist aesthetics, unique architectural elements, and clean lines in their sneaker designs. The sneakers are made from premium materials like leather, suede, and exotic skins, ensuring luxury and durability. Their signature midfoot strap adds style, support, and customisation, while cushioned insoles and ergonomic construction provide a comfortable fit.
In recent years, Filling Pieces has expanded its product offerings, collaborating with influential designers like PUMA and Barneys New York, and offering footwear like boots and sandals. With a global presence in premium retailers and boutiques, Filling Pieces prioritizes sustainability and eco-friendly practices in their production processes. For example, they use recycled materials and work towards reducing their carbon footprint.
If you are looking for basic sneakers in black or white, or something more colourful, Filling Pieces has a lot to offer in terms of unique and contemporary designs for both men and women. Philibert draws his inspiration from people's daily lives and individual styles, traveling the world to expand his knowledge. The sneakers are always made with the best quality, and each pair is handmade in Portugal, using the best Italian materials, such as nubuck and soft suede.
Do Filling Pieces sneakers fit true to size?
Generally, the Filling Pieces sneakers tend to run a bit larger. Therefore, it is recommended to order one size smaller than your normal size.
