In 2009, Guillaume Philibert wanted to design a premium sneaker at a fair price point. This led to the birth of the Low Top. The first shoe to bridge the gap between streetwear and high fashion. The Low Top became more than just a piece of footwear. It was a symbol of affordable, luxury design. A product that levelled the playing field. One that proved good design can unify. A sneaker adopted by people of all sexes, races, religions, and sexualities. Today, the Low Top continues to be a symbol of a world united through the power of creativity, where boundaries between people have been erased. But Filling Pieces didn’t stop there.
In the almost fifteen years of existence, Filling Pieces grew from one single shoe to an international fashion brand with full footwear, clothing and accessories collections. At the intersection of high-end fashion and streetwear, Filling Pieces has been bridging the gap between different worlds and cultures—in fashion and beyond.
“Every design choice we make is based on quality, responsibility and design, that also counts for where of how we produce. Each material that we source or way to fabricate this, comes with decision making with quality in mind. To me quality is not only on how durable a product is, but also how it feels, ages and fits. This is our premise.” - Guillaume Philibert
