The concept that launched CROSTY in 2015 is its signature leather sneaker, built from Italian calfskin uppers, Vachetta calfskin and knitted liners and a rubber sole, each pair inscribed with the word ‘freedom’ in elegant Georgian script.
Founded by brothers George and Shota Mikaia, the brand blends Georgian heritage with European luxury shoemaking and has been worn by figures such as Sofia Richie and Stephen Curry. The sneakers are sold from the brand’s concept store on Melikishvili Avenue in Tbilisi.
