Like father, like son. United States, Korea and Japan are the main destinations of Wolf & Son, which directs 80% production to foreign markets.

Allying the virtue of craft and the excellence of skill, Wolf & Son denotes careful selection to the choice of raw materials for implementation. Focusing on natural elements the brand speaks to the contemporary male. Showing the minimum of decoration and paying the utmost attention to details, to make a long lasting shoe for all wolves and wolf cubs. All fathers and their sons.

The next step is to reach the female audience, and start producing footwear that can be worn by mothers and daughters. A medium-term project. For now Wolf & Son will incorporating some unisex models approaching this market segment.
