BLNKS
BLNKS is a German brand founded in 2016. Born from Malte Blank‘s vision, its Creative Director and a passionate sneakerhead. Convinced by the vision and the mix of traditional know-how with bold and futuristic designs, Frederik Dreeke and Alexandre Pineau joined the brand.
Confident that everyone possesses a creative potential, they built an ideal playground for people to unleash their creativity. BLNKS invites customers to place a part of himself in his creation. Its logo expresses it perfectly. BLNKS experience enables you to create a unique sneaker masterpiece. Creativity and freedom are the keywords during the journey! Every aspect of the shoe is defined by the wearer (each leather pattern, the outsole, the sewing lines, the laces and eyelets, crystals and spikes, ...). As a final touch, the same way a painter signs its art, the signature tag will ensure each sneaker is unique.
