A brand with a story, craftsmanship, and soul
Botas has been a symbol of Czech craftsmanship, sporting tradition, and distinctive style since 1949. From Olympic medals to fashion collaborations — the Botas brand has always made an impact.
In 2023, the brand was acquired by Václav Staněk, founder of Vasky, with one goal — to save a Czech legend. Thanks to thousands of fans through the "Save Botas" campaign, it succeeded. Today, the brand is led by his brother Vít Staněk, and Botas is entering a new era — independently and with global ambition.
From Forbes to lifestyle magazines — the Botas comeback is gaining attention across the scene.
A revived classic, supported by those who believe in its meaning.
Both brands have deep roots in the Czech environment — Botas has been making shoes for over 75 years, while Škoda is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year.
With the Botas x Footshop collection, we’re taking our vision of the perfect sneakers one step further. The craftsmanship of Czechoslovak shoemakers meets modern streetwear design here.
Two icons, one masterpiece. The powerful design was co-created by Jiří Procházka himself. Our master shoemakers then brought it to life with their craftsmanship.
