Introducing KHOLA™ — the next step in evolution for design and sustainability, and the latest project by Rem D. Koolhaas, Founder + Creative Director of United Nude.
Born from the question “What do the shoes of the future look like?”, KHOLA™ reimagines footwear as an endlessly repairable and a fully modular system constructed entirely without glue.
The brand’s patent-pending Slot-Loop-Lace Construction™ allows every shoe to be assembled and disassembled by hand—no tools, no waste, no landfill.
22 billion shoes are thrown away every year. KHOLA™ is here to change that. One modular step at a time.
It’s a product. It’s a service. It’s the future.
