ZEHA BERLIN SHOES – TRADITION AND ZEITGEIST The story of Zeha begins in 1897, when a factory for leather shoes was established in the state of Thuringia, Germany. Years later, Zeha became the official sport shoe manufacturer for the GDR, and the sneaker with the double-stripe trademark was born. Today, Zeha Berlin is well-known for its high-quality, handmade leather footwear. Inspired by Berlin’s urban lifestyle as well as Zeha’s rich history, the company offers three iconic sneaker collections based on the original design — Carl Hässner, Trainer, and Streetwear — in addition to their exclusive Urban Classic leather shoes and accessories. All of Zeha’s leather goods are handcrafted locally in Portuguese factories by trusted manufacturers.
