The NOVESTA sneaker MARATHON CLASSIC is based on a classic model from the early 1960s. The current model is based on the type that was used as training shoes for the Czechoslovakian marathon and racewalking at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

The upper is a combination of polyester and leather, so it is designed to look good even when worn by adults. While reminiscent of old-fashioned sports shoes, it is easy to match with modern fashion.

The softness of the instep and the heel makes it easy to wear sneakers, and at the same time, the clean NOVESTA-like shape is stylish.

NOVESTA eventually became the largest shoe factory in Slovakia in this area, and since 1950 it has been commissioned to produce military trainer shoes all over the world.
