A Closer Look at the "Bondamanjak" Design

The “Bondamanjak” sneaker is inspired by a Caribbean Habanero pepper known for its intense spiciness. The bold colors on the shoe represent the pepper’s ripening process, transitioning from green to deep red.

The upper of the sneaker is made from high-quality materials like suede, perforated suede, smooth leather, and Madras fabric, a traditional tartan-like textile often seen in Caribbean celebrations.

Unique cultural details include:

Embroidered SB (Selecta Bisso) logo
“Bondamanjak” inscription
Stylized chili pepper on the tongue label
Chili pepper print on the insole
Teal blue lining representing the clear waters of Guadeloupe

The shoe sits on a colorful outsole that reflects the diverse landscapes of the Antilles, blending comfort and cultural storytelling.

Special Packaging and Extras

The sneakers come in a special box with a wood-effect finish and a vibrant cover showcasing Bondamanjak chili peppers. Each pair includes two sets of laces in teal blue and red, giving wearers styling options to match their mood or outfit.
