Shoes
Grey
AZal
The word “Azal” means grey in the Amazigh (Berber) language, spoken across North Africa for thousands of years. In Amazigh culture, Azal carries the meaning of “eternity” or “time without end” a symbol of resilience and continuity.
As a colour, Azal is interpreted as a rich, deep grey, echoing the tones of North Africa’s rugged mountains and timeless desert stones. It embodies strength, endurance, and elegance qualities woven into the Amazigh identity and now into your shoes.
Black
Neulle
The word Neulle (Ñuul) means “Black” in the Wolof and Serer languages of Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania. In both traditions, it means “black”, but its meaning reaches far beyond just colour.
For the Serer, Wolof, and many West African cultures, black (Neulle) symbolises protection, depth, and the unseen power of the night. It is the colour of resilience, dignity, and ancestral strength.
Green
Kore
In Hausa, one of the most widely spoken languages of West Africa, “Kore” means green, often describing freshness, youth, and the vitality of unripe fruit or new leaves.
Within Hausa culture, green is a symbol of life, growth, and hope tied to fertile fields, new beginnings, and spiritual renewal. It reflects a connection to nature and the promise of prosperity.
