Sejarah Fesyen
Established in 2015, ROA originated as a collaboration between the Italian distribution platform Slam Jam and designer Maurizio Quaglia. The brand emerged during a period when technical outdoor gear began influencing luxury streetwear. It is recognized for integrating Vibram outsoles and specialized fabrics into silhouettes suitable for both mountain terrain and city use. ROA's development reflects a broader historical shift toward functionalism in contemporary fashion, establishing a precedent for technical hybrid footwear.
