ba2's premium sneakers boast a minimalist design that doesn't stand out too much, yet exudes immediate quality, perfectly suited for the modern adult business scene.
The Porto Low features a simple silhouette that pairs well with any outfit and a recycled rubber sole. It's a perfect fit for any style, including suits.
Crafted from Italian shrink leather, its design, inspired by men's dress shoes, conveys a sense of sophistication. 
The grain of shrink leather not only offers functionality by making scratches less noticeable, but also expressive power that changes its appearance depending on how the light hits it, which is something we love.
Features a 1.5cm thick leather insole for enhanced cushioning
At ba2, we aim to create sneakers where the wearer is the star. The Porto Low, despite its simple silhouette, features a 1.5cm thick insole that provides both cushioning and a subtle boost in style.
Sustainable recycled sole made from rice waste
Portugal's excellent eco-system means there are many sole and shoe components available there that cannot be found elsewhere. The Porto Low uses a recycled sole made from "rice waste." Not only is it more sustainable, but the repurposed waste creates a natural pattern, adding an accent to the minimalist design.
Handmade in Portugal, renowned for its luxury footwear
Portugal has a long history as a production hub for luxury shoes in Europe, and has cultivated an excellent shoe ecosystem.In homage to Portugal's shoemaking culture, this model is named "Porto Low," after the beautiful port city of Porto in Portugal.
Moreover, because Portugal has a well-established shoe ecosystem, investments in cutting-edge equipment have been made, carefully discerning which processes benefit from manual craftsmanship and which should be optimized by machines. This machine, used for cutting leather, can efficiently cut leather without waste.
