City of Adelaide and the Indigenous Kaurna People
Can you take a stab at which city was the inspiration behind this collection… you’ve guessed it! It’s ADELAIDE! Adelaide is a bustling city situated in Australia, and is the cosmopolitan coastal capital of the state of South Australia. A city rich in culture, as well as natural parkland, it is home to renowned museums, such as the Art Gallery of South Australia, which houses a large collection of noted Indigenous artworks. The city and its connection to the Kaurna People; a group of Indigenous Australians, whose traditional lands include the Adelaide Plains of South Australia, have been the precise inspiration behind the design of this season's ADELAIDE collection.
The Kaurna People were a society of hunter and gatherers, whose dwellings changed with the climate. The Kaurna People’s deep connection with the land upon which they lived, and moreover, their strong understanding of, and harmonious co-inhabitants with the surrounding creatures of the land, was of key importance in daily life. The Rainbow Serpent in particular, has a highly significant role in the deeply rooted beliefs and culture of Indigenous Australians, and is a key image found in Aboriginal mythology and artworks. The design of the ADELAIDE sneaker collection, which is characterized by a body of highly exaggerated snake skin texture, has thus been directly inspired by the rich culture of the Kaurna People.
Specific Features of the Adelaide Sneakers
The ADELAIDE Collection comes in two color options for men – black and white, and three color options for women, with the additional style in gold. It is an upgrade from the classic ADELAIDE sneakers. This season's design is simply tailored and coupled with an exaggerated snake skin outer design, which creates an added luxurious feel. The sneakers are made of premium aniline leather. The white and gold options are made of textile lining, while pig-skin lining is found in the classic black. Its bouncy PU insole, provides absolute comfort for all-day wear. The outsoles are made using Italian design rubber, which enables strong support, cushioning and durability.
The ADELAIDE sneakers in classic black, takes luxury wear to a whole other level, with the addition of a rectangular gold plated logo just below the tongue of the shoe. This is in addition to an upgrade to the premium pig-skin lining, which adds that bonus layer of style, sophistication and comfort.
The collection helps to bring out the curious adventurer within all of us, and reminding us of the importance to reconnect with nature and its creatures, an element so quintessential to the lives of the Kaurna Tribe.
Why not try the sneakers out for yourselves? The quality and style of this collection is second to none.

The ICON collection forms part of our timeless classic range, encompassing a simple and classic design, which has stood the test of time. This season, our team of highly creative and passionate designers have sought to revolutionize this existing collection, by injecting a new range of bold and creative patterns, to create a youthful and playful element, while still keeping the original look and feel of this timeless collection. ICON DOTS and ICON DOTS form two sub-groups of this underlying ICON collection.
ICON DOTS
The ICON DOTS range was born out of our brand’s collaboration with the very talented Los Angeles based designer LIZ, who has a highly unique insight into the creative mixing and matching of diverse color palettes, in order to emanate a wide array of moods and ambiance. This DOTS range was further inspired by the designer’s admiration of the infamous contemporary Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama, whom is widely regarded as the “Queen of the Dot”. The vibrant and creative dots patterned design found in this range, is thus a clear reflection of the artist’s creative vision for this collection.
ICON CROSS
Much like the ICON DOTS range, ICON CROSS, has come about, through the artist’s vision for creating a range that exudes youthful vitality and playfulness. The ICON CROSS range, serves to symbolize a wide array of people rapidly moving along in a modern city, and thus crossing paths, and at times colliding and creating fireworks. It is this element of surprise, of unexpected wander that gives the city life its sense of vitality, burst of energy and excitement. Such feelings have been carefully crafted and portrayed through the range’s skillful play of colors, in combination with its unique crisscross patterned design.
Let me introduce to you our very new MEISTER Collection. A brand new addition to our Royal Elastics family this season, this sneaker’s unique one-of-a-kind design features a two-piece leather covered elastics overlay, offering strong support, durability, and absolute comfort. The launch of this new collection thus brings to the forefront, our brand's boldness in striving for continual innovation and creativity, while at the same time retaining its iconic look, stemming from our iconic motto of ‘no time for laces’.
This easy slip-on sneaker is inspired by classic French design, which exudes effortless and timeless elegance and style. The collection’s sneakers feature a pure white body, in combination with one of three matt colors, to add a vibrant splash of color and modern feel for the summer season. The three colors – blue, yellow and rose pink, offered in this collection, are inspired by the vibrant colors of the infamous French macaron. The sweet delicate texture and fine detail of the macaron bring to light, this collection’s effortless, yet irresistible quality. That is, its ability to turn heads and create a lasting impression.
