Eco-friendly shoes inspired by mythology
IKO:NOTT is not just a brand of eco-friendly shoes. It is a brand with soul, born from a passion passed down from childhood: mythology.
For Melisande, the founder, stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes are not just old tales. They are the driving force behind her creativity and the compass for her sustainable fashion project.
A family story behind the creation
It all started with her brother. By telling her legends from ancient times, whether Greek, Norse, or Egyptian, he sparked a lasting fascination in her.
These stories fueled her imagination, shaped her artistic sensibility... and later inspired the creation of a brand of recycled sneakers with strong symbolic meaning.
During her studies, Melisande decided to explore this passion further by devoting her thesis to classical religions. She discovered that mythology, far from being outdated, addresses deeply relevant themes: transformation, the search for self, choice, freedom.
This work became a turning point: she immersed herself in myths and began to translate them into concrete creative projects.

Eco-friendly sneakers that make a difference
When she decided to create her own brand of sustainable shoes, it was obvious: each pair would bear a mythological name, carefully chosen with her brother.
Each model pays tribute to a deity, symbol, or hero from various traditions.
👉 The result? Eco-friendly sneakers with a strong identity and a story to embody.
