The original Komyuter design by Nike was actually developed in a rather serendipitous manner. It all started with Nike's innovators experimenting with the idea of wrapping a paper bag around the foot, aiming to create a versatile silhouette with a focus on functionality. Through numerous iterations and improvements, the design evolved from its loose 'paper bag' look into a sleek and functional shoe featuring a drawcord tightening system and a secondary lock-down strap around the ankle. This design transformation gave birth to the Komyuter SE 'Birch', an avant-garde shoe that seamlessly combines both style and practicality, making it well-suited for adverse weather conditions and fluctuating temperatures.
