LAKSAY SHOE

Category: Footwear

A platform shoe that stands as a homage to the Filipino spirit of resilience, labor, and the unsung strength of the agricultural community. Laksay came from kalinga word meaning “to carry, to shoulder” symbolic of how farmers and carabaos shoulder the nation's food. Rooted in the symbol of the carabao (kalabaw): A humble yet mighty figure of Filipino farmlands — the shoe embodies the call for a better, nurturing agricultural future. The silver toe plate and metallic accents symbolize the silver lining within the struggles of the farming sector, representing progress, recognition, and the dignity of labor. The platform sole symbolizes standing tall — a rise above hardship, with bold steps toward sustainable futures.
