Karpet Diem Sneakers

If anything, footwear tends to go on top of carpet—or, in some households, it doesn’t even make contact at all—but for Karpet Diem, the connection between footwear and carpet runs far deeper. Ever since his mother passed away, the founder of Karpet Diem was surrounded by her collection of vintage antiques and rugs. Naturally, he developed a love for them. To harness his creativity and honor his late mother, he created these sneakers. Available in men’s and women’s sizes, the Karpet Diem sneakers can add a splash of color to any outfit. These leather-lined shoes feature a gum sole and a carpet upper using traditional oriental rugs. Made in Italy, the shoes dress up or down perfectly.
