ROA at Rezet Store

ROA is an Italian brand founded in 2015 with roots in the creative environment around Slam Jam and designer Maurizio Quaglia. The brand operates between technical outdoor wear and refined fashion design, translating hiking references into footwear, clothing and accessories with a precise and functional expression.

The visual language is closely connected to Gorpcore, but ROA keeps the look controlled through dark palettes, structured uppers and compact silhouettes. The result is a category built around hybrid products that move naturally between urban settings and outdoor environments without losing their technical character.

ROA materials and Vibram sole construction

ROA footwear is defined by durable materials and performance-driven details. Many styles are constructed with a Vibram sole for grip and stability, paired with uppers in leather, mesh or technical fabrics depending on the model. Kudu leather is often used for its strong surface structure and distinct texture.

The construction reflects a meeting point between avant-garde materials and traditional Italian manufacturing techniques. Reinforced panels, protective toe areas, padded collars and aggressive outsole patterns give the shoes a practical foundation, while clean design lines keep the overall expression sharp and contemporary.

ROA silhouettes including Andreas and Katharina

Key ROA silhouettes include Andreas, Katharina, Cingino, Neal and Fedaia, each balancing hiking function with urban design. Andreas has a boot-like profile with a rugged sole unit and supportive upper, while Katharina often appears with a lower, more agile shape suited to everyday wear.

Cingino, Neal and Fedaia expand the category with sneaker-inspired constructions, technical details and outdoor footwear references. Across the models, ROA uses volume, texture and sole design to create a distinct look that feels practical without becoming overly decorative.

Are ROA shoes true to size?

ROA shoes generally fit true to size. However, due to their rugged, hiking-inspired construction, we recommend referring to the specific size guide for models like the Andreas or Katharina for the perfect fit.

Can I use ROA boots for actual hiking?

Yes. While ROA is a staple in the urban Gorpcore fashion scene, the brand utilizes genuine outdoor technology, including Vibram soles and durable Kudu leather, making them highly capable on challenging terrains.

Where is ROA manufactured?

ROA is an Italian brand that prides itself on combining minimalist, avant-garde design with traditional Italian manufacturing techniques.
