Values_Heritage
Brand name.
KINAMANIA has its roots in menorquina, the traditional Spanish sandal made from leather with recycled rubber soles and originally handmade on the island of Menorca. The mania for Kinas is born from the menorquina mania !

"When I launched the brand, it was all about sandals. The shoe lines grew, but I couldn't let go of the name – too attached to change it up! Additionally, Kina is a nod to 'Kine,' invoking kinetic energy and movement!" Kristina
Inspiration.
"I find my inspiration in basic footwear styles that have stood the test of time to which I add fashion-forward details. This is my way of reinventing heritage, with a focus on quality, comfort and elegance.” Kristina
We draw inspiration from the classics, infusing them with a modern touch to create footwear that not only stands the test of time but also reflects the dynamic spirit of the contemporary world.
Shoemaking.
We understand that the legacy of a well-crafted shoe extends beyond the material realm – it carries with it the stories of those who dedicated their skills to the art of shoemaking.
At Kinamania, we pay homage to the time-honored traditions of shoemaking that have been passed down through generations.
Reviving Crafts.
Furthermore, our heritage is not limited to the products themselves but extends to the communities and cultures that have shaped our brand.

We collaborate with artisans and skilled craftsmen and women, fostering relationships that go beyond business transactions. By embracing and respecting the heritage of these communities, we strive to make a positive impact, ensuring that the legacy of craftsmanship thrives for generations to come.
