Hugo Stevens and Miguel Tavares started in street markets and are now the owners of Humbs, a new brand of footwear born with the purpose of crafting revolutionary modern day looking shoes with innovative functionalities. The entrepreneurs are soon launching a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo with an exciting video to explain why Humbs is unique.
The meeting started in December 2019 after several attendances in street markets selling innovative wallets Little did they know that those same markets would be a mirage in 2020. However, both knew they wanted to create a new brand Casually, at the rhythm of beer, a friend complimented the other friends shoes. This was the starting point for a discussion of ideas about design and functionality. The new footwear brand was born.
After ten months developing the first prototypes, in partnership with a factory in the North of Portugal, the first model was crafted and named Humbs One.
With a sports casual look, Humbs One is the first urban slip on shoe that is not only extremely comfortable, but also highly resistant and anti odor, due to the use of patented and tested materials such as OnMicro ® and onSteam ®.
• Slip on, due to the use of elastic shoelaces (plus offer of regular shoelaces)
• Good comfort sensation from premium and padded microfibre OnMicro ®
• Very high abrasion resistance, holding more than 100 000 cycles of use onSteam ®
• Anti odor inner lining and insole made from recycled corn
• 100 water repellent
• Vegan and animal friendly
HUMBS SUPPORTS THOSE IN NEED
The social cause, present from the first day, is and will remain inherent to the brand identity,
particularly in the current context of a pandemic. As such, for each pair of shoes sold, a meal is donated to the institution, which supports people in need, and a meal to the institution Animalife which supports abandoned animals.
As of April 6 2021 the shoes will be available on Indiegogo s world renowned crowdfunding platform. To pre order and check the campaign, you can visit the website www.humbs.co or Instagram page @humbsoriginals.
