Compass Shoes, Local Sneakers Going International

Kapanlagi.com - Compass Shoes has recently become a topic of discussion among sneaker enthusiasts in Indonesia. Not only is it an affordable shoe product, but Compass Shoes is also a local Indonesian product with high quality and design.

Compass Shoes was founded in 1998 and experienced a decline in the 2000s. The reason was due to the public's tendency towards imported products. Compass Shoes began to rise again in 2017 with the popular Gazzele Vintage model.

The latest collaboration between Compass and denim brands Old Blue and PMP has become a phenomenon for a local sneaker product. The release of this shoe series was delayed due to the overwhelming number of interested buyers at the Wall Of Fades event in one of Jakarta's malls.

At the end of 2019, sneaker enthusiasts in the country were discussing the Compass shoes posted by a reseller store in America, Roundtwo Hollywood. In their post, Round Two priced the Compass Gazzele Vintage shoes far above their retail price, at US$ 150 or around Rp 2 million.

Round Two is owned by Sean Wotherspoon, a renowned second-hand goods trader who had the opportunity to collaborate with the major brand Nike to design the Nike Air Max 1 shoes, combined with the Nike Air 97 silhouette. The resulting shoes became one of the best sneakers that many people liked, and their resale price skyrocketed in the market.

Recently, Compass once again became a hot topic of discussion. This time, the Instagram account Fxxkingrabbits, a streetwear brand from Japan, uploaded a story post featuring a Compass shoe with Fxxkingrabbits logo ornaments inside, tagged 'Made for FR'.

Hmmm, could this be the next release for Compass shoes? Well, stay tuned for further updates on KapanLagi, Sneakerheads!
