About
We’re a fashion brand from Toronto, Canada.
We live here. We work here. We play here. And like so many who can say the same, minimalist sneakers are as much a part of our daily routine as TTC rides, mystery smells and raccoon trash raids.
A few years ago, we got tired of constantly burning through our fast fashion sneakers and began looking for high-quality alternatives.
What we found out was that high-quality leather sneakers were obnoxiously overpriced.
So we decided to make our own.
We made them every bit as good as the department store designer labels, compromising nothing in materials or construction. Then we committed to selling them at a realistic, honest price.
We branded them with home. YYZ is always the destination, no matter how far you wander.
We thought about who else calls this city, “home”. Falcons, hawks, owls who fled farmland to nest on city rooftops.
“Raptors” was taken. So we went with Birds of Prey instead.
