Leo Kong

NZ born shoemaker Leo Kong (Kleeoor), founder and head of footwear at IDAS, where he pays tribute to traditional craftsmanship while embracing a vision of timeless artistry. Kong lives and works in Milan, Italy.

IDAS birthed from the very act of introspective questioning; Surrounded by nothing but his own values, desires, aspirations, all in their rawest forms; Authenticity-to-self lays the very foundation of IDAS.
