Those Shoes.
The “Mockba” sneakers have long been a white-whale of soviet spetsnaz obscura. An unobtainable bootleg that’s arguably more desirable than what it cloned.
We all want the special-forces-cool-guy gear and when we started our hunt for what seemed to be a cheap pair of sneakers, we found ourselves down one of the deepest rabbitholes yet. The “Mockba” family of bootlegged sneakers stems from an unconditional love of that one company with the three stripes, their Olympic representation in Moscow 1980, and the subsequent theft of a lot of tooling when Adidas step foot into Russia.
Instead of just throwing a pair of sneakers at a factory and asking for a redux, we went far to make these the best of both worlds. A sneaker you’d actually want to wear, but one that pays homage to the Russian copies worn by their special forces during the occupation of Afghanistan.
The result is something that is unmistakably a German-trainer styled shoe but with just enough spun off that people are definitely going to ask a few questions when they see them.
Whether you’re matching them with your KLMK or you’re wearing them every day, we’ve tailor made our Mockbas for historical enthusiasts and sneakerheads looking for a budget banger alike, avoiding China for higher quality production in Pakistan and making a totally one-of-a-kind shoe from heel to toe.

Care
We highly suggest you invest in a suede-specific cleaning kit for optimal care. Take extra care with the logo printing on the heel when using chemicals or alcohol-based cleaning products as it can tarnish/lift the print. The insoles can be removed and cleaned separately.
