Like any two-year-old, Arjun loved the vibrant, cool sneakers his friends wore to school. But for Arjun, who wore braces on his legs, the reality of shoe shopping was different. Instead of style, he was met with bulky, oversized, and ugly sandals or shoes two sizes too big just to fit over his braces.

Nivo was born from the belief that great design should be universal. We’ve reimagined the sneaker with a perimeter-zipper system that allows the shoe to open completely. No more shoving, no more struggling—just a foot placed easily inside a shoe that looks as good as it feels. We aren't just making adaptive shoes; we’re making shoes that everyone wants to wear, designed for the way everyone moves."
