Off-Normal is designed for recent graduates dealing with the transition in their identity, mindset, living and working environments from a classroom to an office. These shoes have both the characteristics of a traditional formal leather shoe and the personality and comfort of a sneaker that match the identity of recent graduates.

Inspired by the classic Oxford shoe, Off-Normal's sense of elite flows through every detail of it. These details are both the future a graduate seeks and the protective color he uses to hide his current self.
