THE GENTLEMAN SNEAKERS

In 2012, Nicolas HUET (creator and co-founder) intermingled the first names of his children to create the name Elhann.H, with the primary idea of creating a project that has an ethical meaning and that can endure over time.

The second is to make this name a brand represented by quality products, which involves the choice of collaborators, raw materials, manufacturing processes, and many details to which we pay attention.

The third is to develop an identity from products that are both elegant and urban, combining traditional and new values.

Naturally, caring for your children is caring for the future, not just tomorrow but rather this distant future, that of our planet and our children who will live there.

Eco-responsibility is a given, and we must do our utmost to integrate it into our products and services, it must be a daily objective.

The leathers we select come from the food industry and are LWG certified,

with reduced use of polluting products during tanning and better traceability.

We also work with tanneries that use recycled leather.

The synthetic fabrics are made from recycled PET materials (plastic bottles),

We develop our material sourcing in close collaboration with our suppliers,

always with the idea of polluting less and preserving our planet.

We developped, under the name MKX, a process which include 15% rice husk residue

in our soles, so we use 15% less plastic 

while at the same time upcycling a waste from rice culture.

    The product’s packaging is just as important.

all are FSC-certified recycled cardboard boxes, 

without glue, and printed with water-based inks, and recyclable.

We create with purpose. We design with care. 

And we give meaning to what we make.

Love is our guide—not as a sentiment, 

but as a principle that shapes every detail, every decision.

Our brand is built on a clear belief: to create products where emotion, 

responsibility, and timeless design exist in balance.

This means longevity over fast fashion, inclusivity beyond gender, 

and responsibility in every material and process.

Because how we make is just as important as what we make.
