About Us
inked by artists, designed for you ♥️
Inkkas is a globally-inspired, independent footwear brand where every design begins as a hand-drawn work of art. We partner with artists to create original illustrations that celebrate nature, craft, and beauty around the world. Every shoe is brought to life through thoughtful design and handcrafted production, blending art with adventure in every step. Born from a love of travel and deep respect for tradition, our collections are (literally) woven with stories -- from the Andes to the Sahara, from hand-inked sketches to bold soles built for exploration. We believe in craftsmanship that matters, creativity that connects, and products that are as unique as the people who wear them. Whether you're chasing city streets or forest trails, Inkkas are made to move you -- and move with you.
Art You Can Wear
We collaborate with talented artists to create one-of-a-kind designs that start as hand-drawn works of art. Every shoe is more than footwear — it’s a wearable canvas that connects you to places and people across the globe.
Step Into the World
Every pair of shoes tells a story — inked by artists, inspired by the world, and crafted to take you on your next adventure. Our collections celebrate the colors, textures, and patterns of our planet.
Crafted with Care
Each pair is handcrafted in Latin America, using premium materials and time-honored techniques. We believe in slow fashion — making shoes with integrity, built to last, and designed for comfort from the very first step.
Walking the Talk
ONE SHOE ONE TREE
For every purchase, we plant one tree through our OneShoeOneTree™ program— helping to restore forests, protect biodiversity, and fight climate change. Over the years, this has amounted to more than 445,000 trees planted!
The globe as our muse, we are committed to improving our environment and enriching our communities through responsible choices and action. That is why, in addition to tree planting, we make our collections in small batches & allow pre-order (limits overproduction and waste), donate worn pairs to our partner Soles4Souls for refurbishment to those in need, and ensure fair and ethical practices across our supply chain. Thank you for your support!

Inspiration doesn’t live inside a studio. It’s out here—on the streets, in the stories, in the hands of the people who make beautiful things because they care.
