Camper

Profile

Though this Spanish company was launched in 1975 by the descendant of a family with more than a century in the shoemaking business, the colorful local outpost has only been serving Soho shoppers since the start of the new millennium. Since then, however, a mix of tourists and devotees have been mobbing the shop for its playful designs�known for incorporating unexpected materials and eye-popping colors. The Twins line, for example, finds each shoe complementing�rather than mirroring�its match in terms of patterns and imagery. Whatever your style, lightweight, bulbous soles provide comfortable protection against New York City’s sidewalks. — Alexandra Vallis
