About Wibes

Wibes is an eco-responsible and high-end Parisian sneaker brand created by 3 friends born between Paris and Abidjan, and founded in 2017. It was naturally inspired by their origins that they imagined sneakers that resemble them, with a refined Parisian design and wax prints from home. They wanted to offer comfortable and elegant low sneakers, but above all of quality and respectful of the environment and people, from the very beginning. The brand is above all a story of encounters. Meeting between the members of the team first: that of Aurélie and Nicolas, the founders, and Julian, the artistic director. But also the meeting between two cultures, those of France and Africa. Childhood friends, Nicolas and Julian were born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where they grew up and lived for fifteen years. Aurélie was born in France and was rocked by stories and memories of Africa brought back by her father who has worked there for more than 20 years. It was therefore these human and cultural encounters, between Paris and Abidjan, that brought them together around common values, stories and passions. And that's what marked the starting point of this great adventure Read their story
