We stumbled upon this awesome brand based in Germany that caught our eye for their funky in your face sneakers with chic yet edgy design that stands out and catches your attention.
I assumed they only produced sneakers but after looking into the brand further they actually produce other conventional designs such as loafers, flats, boots etc . Kennel Shmenger is also one of original last standing footwear producers in Germany, and I must say they are doing an excellent job keeping the tradition alive.
Read all about this German brand with the snazzy wheels below.

In 1961, Klaus Kennel, grandson of the company founder, joins the company. 1995: Today's CEO, partner and creative director, Andreas Klautzsch, starts working at Kennel & Schmenger.
