Car manufacturers branching out to other fields is nothing new, and the latest one is Cupra, which has entered the sneaker-making business in collaboration with Barcelona-based Mikakus.
Co-created with soccer player Andres Iniesta’s international fashion brand, the three-sneaker collection includes the Garage model, in Petrol Blue and White, and the flagship Paddock. The Mikakus x Cupra collection features the traditional Cupra colors and the company’s logo on the heel hoop and was inspired by the Formentor.

“With this exclusive collection, we welcome Mikakus to the Cupra Tribe, a fashion brand that shares our vision of inspiring the world from Barcelona through exclusive, unconventional products”, said Cupra’s Director of Strategy, Business Development and Operations, Antonino Labate. “The Mikakus x Cupra sneaker capsule is further proof of our ambition to generate a lifestyle universe around our range of vehicles. In the coming months, we will continue to expand our design collections with new partners.”
Available in sizes from 36 to 46 (5-12 US), the Paddock sneakers are on sale in Mikakus’ Barcelona flagship store priced at €189 (equal to $229), while the Garage costs €175 ($212). The sneakers will also be displayed in Cupra’s dealer network alongside the ‘Chispa by Marset for Cupra’, a cordless and rechargeable lamp that was presented six months ago and went on sale in October.
