Dear backers,

We're excited to announce your sneakers are on their way! Shipping process has begun : first packages were sent today, and it will happen until Friday. Once shipped, you can expect the following timelines: 2-3 days for UK, 5-10 days for Europe and 2-14 days for rest of the world.

We would like to apologize for the small delay in the shipping process, it was due to an unexpected event (someone from fulfilment company was rushed to hospital). Overall we're 2 weeks late, and we hope the wait will be worth it!

We listed the additional few pairs we have in stock on our website, don't hesitate to share it around!

Have a good day,

Production Update #3
over 8 years ago – Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 07:08:16 PM

Dear backers,

Yesterday, I went to visit the factory in Portugal located within 40-minutes drive from Porto. The region is known for producing shoes, sometimes with factories existing for nearly a century like the one where Lenger sneakers will be produced.

I spent the first couple of hours discussing with Rui, the factory director, some details on the production. We checked specific subjects like the fabric used for the shoe bag, sizes of logo on packaging, and shipment. Everything seems to be on track and should be delivered on time to the fulfilment company!

We then went on a tour of the factory. It's amazing to see how many steps they are in the making of a sneaker: cutting leathers, assembling internal & eternal leathers together, sewing them, creating the shape of the shoe, gluing & stitching the sole, adding laces, cleaning the shoe, etc.

Here is a picture of the models it will be assembled from (there is one for each size):

And a video of the leather being cut:

I'm happy to share this experience with you and will continue to keep you updated on the production & delivery processes very soon.

Cheers!

Production Update #2
almost 9 years ago – Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 09:44:54 PM

Dear backers,

A quick update to let you know that your shoes are in the making and everything goes as expected! Things are going forward and in the right direction with the production of shoes, we're very happy over here. Production will start as planned in September and should be done within a month. We will try to share pictures of it while it happens!

We think we found the right fulfilment company to ship the 700+ pairs in over 40 countries as soon as the shoes are ready. We will be finalising details with them next week and things should be pretty smooth from there.

Cheers!
