A maker of handmade rainwear, Stutterheim has built a reputation for crafting waterproof coats that stress multifaceted functionality in designs that are at once striking and simple. Perhaps united by a common dedication to conspicuous simplicity, this Swedish outerwear manufacturer recently partnered with the Slovakian footwear brand Novesta to create a distinctive line of street shoes that can stand up under even the heaviest of downpours.
The Stutterheim x Novesta Rain Star takes weatherproof footwear into new territory with a unisex shoe that looks exactly like a classically stylish trainer. When it starts to rain, however, the unique properties of the Rain Star become obvious. Composed of sturdy water-repellant canvas over a sole of solid natural rubber, this shoe is designed to keep your feet dry with a casually sophisticated flair. The Rain Star is available in both low-top “Master” and high-top “Dribble” models. Both the Master and the Dribble come in beige-soled and white-soled variations, while the Rain Star Master also comes in a distinctive black sole.
