Jonak

Far beyond simple shoes, Jonak is above all the story of freedom, the playground of creation and the love of transmission. This story begins in 1964, in Paris, rue Saint-Placide, when Marcel and Josette Nakam opened their first shoe store. At the time, everything was possible, society, fashion, art, upheavals, revolution, the desire to believe in it, it was the Sixties. And already, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a vision, that of a job well done, of a taste for beauty and sincerity. Alongside Marcel, in the little shop at 26, his wife Josette, who stands out for her elegance and strength, and his son Joseph, who does not yet know that he will build, one stone after another and like a obviously, one of the big names in French footwear. By forming the name “Jonak”, a fusion of their first name and the surname Nakam, Marcel seals the fate: Jonak is and will remain a family adventure.

“Because the foot is the basis of the building of the human body and the human without the woman is nothing, the years have not dulled my passion for shoes. » Joseph Nakam Choosing Jonak is above all joining a great family story. The history of the Nakam family on the one hand, which for 55 years has held the reins of the brand. But also that of our employees and partners with whom we have always worked hand in hand. From the beginnings of the development of its shoes, Jonak chose to produce in Europe and more precisely where the know-how would make it possible to make its models in short circuit and in the rules of the art: in Portugal. Italy and Spain, also famous for the manufacture of shoes, complete the production. The excellence of the materials, the mastery of the gesture as well as the rigor of the technique are the key words in the making of Jonak pieces. By combining production precision and correctness of proposal, we present a constantly reinvented offer, at the right price throughout the year.
