BACKGROUNDER

TRIBU

Borne of a family united by a passion to explore and conquer the untamed recesses of the great outdoors, TRIBU is a collective of products molded by the demands of nature.

Inspired by the rigors experienced in their exploits, this familial commune of bona fide adventure enthusiasts analyzed the conventional footwear that accompanied their mountain treks and their seaside sojourns, re-engineered its fundamentals, infused it with the verve of Filipino native artistry and delivered to the outdoor community a triumph of Filipino artisan skill and creativity.

Where others fail in form and function, TRIBU delivers.

Where others merely replicate, TRIBU innovates:

It originated ‘wave’ contoured soles to provide optimal arch support, protecting the feet from unwanted fatigue, while the much-copied TRIBU patented Gecko outer sole provides vital surface grip at all times.

Most notable of these innovations is the incorporation on the straps and upper soles of intricate tribal designs adapted from the native tapestry patterns of indigenous Filipino minority tribes. A TRIBU original that evidences the Luengo family’s pride in its ancestry. After all, the family hails from Davao, the last bastion of Filipino autonomy that stood its ground against colonial authority.

Buoyed by Filipino optimism and fuelled by untrammeled creativity, TRIBU has weathered the onslaught of foreign competition and has grown from mere sideshow item to big-name brand status renowned for its performance and its continuous support of outdoor and extreme sports communities.

On top of its full-range of outdoor gear for adults and kids, TRIBU has continued to pioneer with the inclusion in its events of the TRIBU wall, a mobile skatepark, and TOWD – a wakeboard simulator that brings this sport out of the beach and into the city. The brand also carries a line of skateboards and skateboard-themed gear.

TRIBU has likewise reinforced its support of all things Filipino with the launch of the YAPAK-YAKAP charity drive and the release of the SINAUNANG HABI sandal series. Both efforts benefit displaced Filipino minority tribes.

TRIBU SHOEDAL

One of the brand’s latest innovations, the TRIBU SHOEDAL blends the freedom and comfort of a sandal with the security of a shoe (hence the name).

The SHOEDAL features TRIBU patented Gecko rubber soles and canvas uppers with side vents to allow breathability.
