Rooted in the alps
Naglev was born in a place that demands precision. A land where resilience is not an option, but a requirement. From here, a clear direction emerges: build less, build better. Eliminate everything that isn’t needed. Keep only what works. Make room for what lasts.
Sustainability is the basis of the project
Meno ma meglio
Fewer products, but longer lifespan. A combination of functionality, streamlined construction, and durable materials reduces complexity and improves long-term use. A single structure, capable of adapting to a variety of environments, from natural trails to urban settings.
Duration and life cycle
If it doesn’t break, there’s no need to replace it. Naglev designs it to withstand use, time, and real-world conditions, reducing the need for replacement.
Fewer replacements mean less waste. Durability is a design choice.
The target audience
Designed for the unstoppable
We design to last, reducing structure to the essentials, selecting high-performance materials, and extending product life to reduce environmental impact.
The shape inspired by functionality
Minimalism is a design principle, not an aesthetic choice. Each element serves a specific function.
Everything else is eliminated. Reducing complexity makes the structure more readable, more stable, and more reliable over time.
Naglev, a new brand from the collaboration with Garmont
Naglev is the new footwear brand born from the collaboration with Garmont, and brings with it all the technical expertise and outdoor approach that everyone knows, but with a new identity: essential, distinctive and original.
Naglev footwear is made with Kevlar and other high-strength materials, like those used in bulletproof vests, and focuses on the essentials: nothing superfluous, everything designed to last.
There’s no clear boundary between urban life, travel, and nature: Naglev shoes adapt naturally to different surfaces and environments thanks to a structure that supports without being bulky, making them ideal for experiences like outdoor living, bushcraft, wilderness survival, and off-grid travel. Naglev is designed for those seeking autonomy, durability, and freedom of movement in any environment.
Naglev models
Naglev – Veloce
From concrete to dirt, it follows the movement, maintains the pace, and continues the performance.
In most shoes, protection is limited to the upper, leaving the midsole exposed.
Yet that’s where the impact occurs, that’s where the structure fails first.
This led to a specific choice: to extend protection where it normally isn’t.
A continuous structure of aramid fiber—the same family of materials used in bulletproof vests—envelops the entire shoe, including the midsole.
Above this structure, a network of stitching wraps around the upper and distributes forces evenly.
This is the function of the exoskeleton: it works together with the material to maintain stability and control under stress.
Inside, the EVA midsole absorbs impact and returns energy with every step.
The result is a shoe that doesn’t just resist: it reacts.
Naglev – Unico 2.0 Tan
A single structure to address multiple contexts: from the technical to the everyday, without variations.
It’s inspired by the approach world, where precision, contact, and reliability are not options. Every element is designed to function under stress, without margin for error.
Hence, a radical choice: removing everything unnecessary. Fewer parts, fewer joints, fewer discontinuities.
The structure wraps the foot, protecting without stiffening, and maintaining a direct connection with the ground.
The upper is made of aramid fiber, designed to resist abrasion and prolonged wear, without adding weight or bulk.
