The Story Behind the Bestseller Model M009

Every brand has a defining piece – for us, it’s the M009. A balance of sleek design, artisanal detail, and functional versatility, this sneaker embodies the spirit of Make My Shoes.

Origins of the M003

Inspired by the clean geometry of mid-century architecture and the effortless cool of 1970s streetwear, the M009 was designed to do one thing: adapt. From office to weekend, boardroom to gallery, this shoe works anywhere.

Key Features

• Minimalist Silhouette: Minimalist silhouette: sleek and unfussy, with subtle yet striking panel details.
• Premium Construction: Hand-stitched Italian calfskin or suede upper, lined in soft leather.
• Low-Top Versatility: Designed to pair effortlessly with tailored trousers, denim, or joggers.
• Sole Integrity: Rubber sole engineered for grip, comfort and quiet step.

Customisation Potential

While the M009 is available in timeless neutrals like navy, gray, brick red, and green, it's also a blank canvas. You'll soon be able to use the Make My Shoes Lab to customize it:

• Panel colours
• Stitching and sole combinations
• Trims and accessories combinations

Why It’s a Favourite

Our clients love the M009 for its clean lines and comfort-first structure. It's the go-to option for professionals, creatives, and minimalists looking for a signature everyday pair.

“I wear my M003s to meetings and on stage. They’re understated, but always get compliments.” – Sipho, creative director, Johannesburg
