KangaROOS x Atelier Kamp VIC- Ultralite - Made in Germany

ATELIER KAMP's Ultralite MiG *VIC* is inspired by the "Vienna International Centre", also known as "UNO-City". This extraordinary building from the 70's has significantly shaped our aesthetic sensibility and is synonymous with the Donauinsel – Vienna's most popular local recreational area.

The Austrian architect Johann Staber planned this building in a total of 6 Y-shaped parts, which in their distinctive arrangement were designed to cast as little shade on each other as possible. The *VIC* opened its doors in 1979 – right when Bob Gamm launched his "shoes with a pocket" - and has been rented by the United Nations (UN) for one symbolic Schilling (0.07 €) ever since.

KAMP’s late Aunt Heide used to work at the Uno City supermarket when he was a kid, hooking him up with all these strange and rare sweets and beverages. She was his connect to the „cool". This one‘s for her.

The 90's indoor silhouette is mainly wrapped in buttery smooth Nappa leather, with micro-perforations on the toe and quilted side panels to reference the building’s structure. A beautiful bluish light grey takes on most of the upper while dark grey suede covers the heel part. Different shades of 70's orange can be found on the animal stripe, laces, lace jewels as well as the terry cloth lining. White nubuck and creme beige suede details as well as lilac TPU eyelets provide accents. A creme beige sole unit with lilac details and a violet stabilizer are finishing off this future classic.

These times call for unity. We are all small parts of a bigger picture. Every pair comes with two puzzle pieces, hoping that we will be able to put together this puzzle one day.
