The sneakers are designed to be minimalistic, modern and elegant, in order to blend in easily with its audience’s ever-evolving wardrobe. The collection is also extremely lightweight, breathable, comfortable and durable, with the added benefits of being cool and sweat resistant over long-duration wear.The Aurea range is available in 5 fresh colours, Pepper (a black and grey melange on black soles), Treebark (brown on white soles), Marine (blue on white soles), Tofu (cream on brown soles), and Slate (dark grey on black soles)

A pioneer in premium natural fibres sneakers, the Flatheads brand aims to make everyday sneakers more comfortable, sustainable, and durable for the urban post-millennial consumer. The brand recently gained popularity amongst the start-up community in India, being sported by some of the leading names such as PankajChaddah, Co-founder of Zomato; Naveen Tewari, Founder and CEO of InMobi and Rajiv Srivatsa, Co-Founder of Urban Ladder amongst others.

Speaking on the launch of the Flatheads Aurea, Utkarsh Biradar, CEO, Flatheads, said, “When we started Flatheads, our vision was to offer customers the ultimate in comfort, reflecting their individuality and sense of everyday style. We differentiated ourselves in the market by championing all-day wear sneakers that were extremely lightweight and breathable. Moving into natural fibres was the logical next step for us to sustain our vision, while still maintaining the premium quality of our products. Despite the crowded footwear market in India, no other brand is using natural fibres like bamboo in sneakers. We decided it was time to change that and use India’s superior quality bamboo to its full potential.”
