From Tracey Neuls:
“To call the GEEK simply a sneaker doesn't give it justice, except for how amazingly comfortable it is. Focusing on first-wear comfort, we have a removable insole inside for a personalised fit and have also padded the back ankle.
Soft vegetable-dyed leather
Italian calf leather lining
Removable insole for a personal fit
Comfortable rubber sole with a metal shank inside for structure and stability”
“Canadian born designer Tracey Neuls has been making shoes since the age of nine, using cereal boxes and tissue rolls for heels. She credits her mother affectionately for letting her walk down the street wearing them.
Due to a lack of footwear colleges in Canada or the States at that time, Tracey Neuls created a career in what was closest, fashion design, and worked for companies like Nike and Falke, with a keen interest in body shape. Neuls' background in fashion design has had a direct influence on how she designs shoes. Her manufactures continue to comment that she approaches the shoe like a garment, by draping leather over the foot and always working with the natural shape of the body, never against it.
Company Philosophies _ Est 2000
Tracey Neuls studied at Cordwainers Footwear College in London. After graduating, Neuls was living in Italy, learning the language and creating footwear for a clothing designer when she decided to create her own label and hasn't looked back since that point.
Tracey Neuls first label was called TN_29, launched when she was 29 years old. She didn't want people to wear a name, she wanted them to be themselves. “I really strive for that individuality in people and not the sameness.” - Tracey Neuls
This was fuel for her to create something uniquely made for the individual and she has remained on this path ever since. After many years with TN_29, Neuls now appreciates that people want to know more about the designer behind the brand, so our collections all come under the name of Tracey Neuls. Her mission has not changed and she continues to provide wearers with timeless, original and comfortable footwear.
Tracey Neuls has now been designing distinctive shoes of quality for nearly two decades. With over 30 collections to date, Neuls is an expert in shoe design. Known for confident sculptural silhouettes, her ethos is 'Good design is something you feel as well as you see.'
Throughout her career, Tracey continues to receive awards for her design innovation and vision, from the prestigious Royal Society of Art, Drapers, The London Design Museum, D&AD, New Generation Award and was asked to show her work at the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art. Neuls was nominated as 'One of the Top Ten Creatives' and fashion influencers living in London by TimeOut and her Marylebone Boutique is Mary Portas' top 5 best shops in the city.
The Design Process
For the past two decades, Tracey Neuls has continued to design with an original and distinctive signature, an extension of her character and personal values. Combining both her creative and technical ability, she creates shoes that are unique and wearable, two things not often found together. Tracey Neuls sketches on yellow Post-it notes: fine line architectural drawings of the shoes that can be moved around in order to curate the collections. When she sketches, she does so in her garden or in a café she has never been to before. It's not mood boards, magazines or trends that inspire, it's more a kinetic, personal and emotional response to design”.
