About CAVALUpdated 4 months ago

CAVAL is the first brand of asymmetrical sneakers, celebrating and enhancing difference through unique design and certified materials.


Why CAVAL?

Founded in 2017 from a simple question – “Why wear two identical shoes?” – CAVAL celebrates difference with bold and innovative design. Each pair showcases 7 differences between the right foot and the left foot, through playful lines, graphics, and colors.


Asymmetry: A Unique Signature

These differences are expressed through:

  • Color variations: One foot may feature a bold tone, while the other remains more understated.
  • Graphic lines: Subtle asymmetries that create a unique harmony.
  • Design details: Laces, eyelets, or patterns that change from one foot to the other.

You get the idea—now it’s your turn to play!


Committed and Responsible

Carefully crafted in Europe, our sneakers are made using certified, eco-friendly materials:

  • LWG (Leather Working Group) certified leather.
  • Soles made from recycled rubber.
  • GOTS-certified organic cotton laces.
  • OEKO-TEX microfiber lining.

We also support diversity and inclusion. Through solidarity collaborations, CAVAL has partnered with organizations like APF France Handicap, Café Joyeux, and Handicap International, donating 100% of profits from dedicated pairs. These initiatives reflect our commitment to celebrating and supporting difference.


Boundless Creativity

CAVAL is not just another brand—it’s a universe where design, innovation, and imagination come together!

With 12 iconic models, from sleek runners to practical velcro designs, CAVAL explores new ways to express asymmetry through collaborations:

  • CAVAL x Saint James: A nod to the maritime world.
  • CAVAL x Michel Vaillant: A dive into the world of comics.
  • CAVAL x Le Petit Prince: Celebrating poetry and childhood.
  • CAVAL x The Pink Panther: A fun and pop reinvention.
  • CAVAL x The Great Wave of Kanagawa: A tribute to Japanese art through Hokusai’s masterpiece.
  • …and many more!
