ABOÜT

Eze Nwaka first launched Leather and Cotton London — a bold, Black-owned footwear brand that broke into the US and Dubai markets. Today, he stewards its evolution: OXÜM — a curated collection of luxury footwear that blends heritage and craftsmanship with modern design.

The brand’s origin traces back to a vivid vision of Eze’s first shoe design, which came to him in a dream. That dream came to fruition through relentless determination, resourcefulness, and a commitment to excellence. Each OXÜM creation is crafted in Portugal from premium materials, merging timeless quality with contemporary style.

Elevated by a diaspora of expert artisans and inspired by global traditions, OXÜM represents the timeless, distinctive details of an exquisite cultural narrative woven into every stitch. Each pair carries the soul of its origin — rooted in African pride, elevated through craftsmanship, and shaped by the global streets Eze continues to walk.

OXÜM is more than footwear. It’s design with purpose, style with provenance, and affirmation for those who carve their own path. Every step honors the divine while celebrating the fusion of culture and modern luxury.
