NOVESTA MARATHON TRAIL BLACK

This model uses a TRAIL SOLE that provides good grip for shoes produced in Central and Eastern Europe in the 1970s. This model is a reproduction of the outsole that was used for a long time in the Partizanske factory.

The MARATHON is based on a classic model made in the NOVESTA factory in the early 1960s. The current model is based on the model used as the training shoes for the Czechoslovakian marathon and race walking team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

MADE IN SLOVAKIA

NOVESTA was quietly founded in 1939 in the historic industrial district of the small town of Partizánske in the former Czechoslovakia, BATA Industrial Park.
This shoe factory, specializing in rubber and canvas products, has consistently produced genuine Slovakian footwear since its founding, including military, work, rubber boots, and running shoes, through the historical transitions of World War II, the post-war Cold War, the socialist era, and the division of the country.
In 1992, one year before the division of Czechoslovakia, NOVESTA, a purely Slovakian sneaker brand, was launched, which has become famous as one of Europe's leading factories in the half century since its founding. Since then, NOVESTA has continued to grow as an original brand while also promoting various collaboration projects with brands from around the world.
NOVESTA continues to create handmade sneakers that retain the European delicacy and rustic texture of Eastern Europe.
