Entry Description

Humbaba Boot – Myth in Motion

Inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh, Humbaba was the wild guardian of the gods’ Cedar Forest — powerful and intimidating, yet swift as wind.

Lakota Shoes captures this duality in a boot that merges bold form with unexpected lightness. Handcrafted from premium leather, with a seamless sole and single-piece upper, it balances strength, agility, and comfort.

Rooted in Persian-Aryan culture, Lakota’s designs are narrative objects — exhibited in Berlin, Paris, and New York.

Humbaba Boot is not just footwear. It’s the spirit of myth — walking.

Bio

Lakota is a brand inspired by Iranian-Aryan culture and Eastern mythology. Each shoe is not just a product, but a narrative — a wearable myth. Lakota’s collections have been exhibited and sold in concept stores in Paris, New York, Berlin, and beyond.
