About United Nude
"WE FOUND OURSELVES BREAKING THE RULES OF SHOES, NOT FOR THE SAKE OF BREAKING THEM, BUT SIMPLY BY NOT KNOWING THEM.”
REM D. KOOLHAAS
Creative Director & Founder of UNITED NUDE
CLEAR CONCEPTION, INNOVATION AND DESIGN, AT THE INTERSECTION OF FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE
Established in 2003 with the launch of the groundbreaking 'Möbius' heel, UNITED NUDE has become an internationally iconic brand at the intersection of architecture and fashion - and continues to pave the way towards the most forward-thinking footwear designs of today.
As the brain-child of architecturally-trained designer Rem D. Koolhaas, the nephew and namesake of renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, the brand is guided by an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of footwear design. Each product is a reinterpretation of an architectural object - an exploration of the possibilities offered by movement, colors, and materials.
Named winner of the 2016 Wallpaper Design* Award for its LO RES CAR, UNITED NUDE is positioned as a leader in design. The Lo Res design method is based on the principle of re-designing the same object in a series, each time lowering the 3D resolution, resulting in a more fragmented and abstract design each step of the way.
The brand is sold in over 50 countries worldwide, with collaborations on limited edition releases with high profile designers from Zaha Hadid to Iris Van Herpen and Issey Miyake.
