Timpers

Why we are showcasing Timpers?

Timpers is a brand from Spain with a meaningful message in every step. Their name is embroidered in Braille on all their sneakers, a beautiful detail that highlights their dedication to inclusivity. Founders Aitor and Roberto set out to create what they affectionately call “the most normal trainers in the world,” but they added a special touch that makes them extraordinary. 

Timpers is more than just a brand; it's a vibrant movement celebrating fashion, diversity, and inclusion while showcasing the incredible talents of people with disabilities. 

After facing some tough challenges in the footwear scene, they decided it was time for one last go. They took their prototypes to the training ground of a football team for the blind in Alicante, where they met Diego, who is visually impaired. When Diego felt the trainers, he sensed they carried a story with them. That moment sparked the creation of Timpers, a project with a mission to shake up the fashion world while sending a heartfelt message of inclusion and diversity. 

What’s really cool about Timpers is that every single member of their team has some form of disability, and they have made a commitment and are not box-ticking with their brand. Roberto says that “sometimes, diversity and inclusion become trends without a real purpose behind them.” He believes that businesses can genuinely make a difference when they focus on a clear mission. 

Diego has not forgotten the early days of the conception of the brand "The design process was so much fun! We would play around with materials to give each trainer their own story." One of his favourite designs features green felt and cork, reminding him of grass and a tree trunk, bringing back joyful memories of his grandparents’ village. 

Having something that is designed for your comfort and considers your individuality means something. When it fills a function but at the same time can express your personality it sends a message to everyone around your outfit choices have meaning. 

Timper prides itself on quality and remaining close to their roots. Crafted in their hometown, Alicante, which is known for its footwear tradition. Their happy customers love coming back for both the fantastic products and the meaningful message. Roberto dreams big, sharing, "We want to grow our team and keep making a difference. Down the line, we hope to expand our product range, open a store, and explore new markets!"
