Founded in 1977 by the Vilela family in São Paulo, the brand became a central fixture of the Galeria do Rock. It gained cultural significance by providing specialized footwear for the emerging Brazilian punk and metal scenes during the late twentieth century. The boots are recognized for their hand-stitched construction and steel-toe designs. Historically, the brand served as a primary supplier for alternative youth movements, maintaining a consistent production method for several decades.
