Behind The Label


Founded in 1939 by renowned industrialist Jan Antonín Baťa, Novesta is a Slovakian footwear icon headquartered in the historic manufacturing town of Partizánske. Originally established as a specialized rubber factory, the brand became a cornerstone of Central European utility, famously outfitting the Czechoslovakian military with its rugged, high-performance trainers. The label’s most iconic silhouette, the Star Master, remains defined by its signature "tire tread" vulcanized rubber sole, which is still heat-pressed onto the cotton canvas upper using original mid-century machinery—a process that eliminates the need for toxic glues and chemicals. This "100% natural" manufacturing philosophy utilizes FSC-certified rubber and organic cotton, ensuring every pair is vegan-friendly and environmentally conscious. Today, Novesta is a global symbol of Eastern European heritage, bridging the gap between utilitarian military history and modern, sustainable street style through its commitment to "Made in Slovakia" craftsmanship.
