"Good shoes are comfortable to wear." It’s a simple philosophy, but for Sudirman Nur, it represents a lifetime of dedication.

Growing up in his parents' workshop, Sudirman didn’t just watch; he learned. When his parents passed, he didn't let the noise of the sewing machines fade away—he took over the mantle. Today, he continues the family legacy, crafting everything from rugged cowboy boots to delicate children's footwear with his own hands.

But Sudirman isn’t just a maker; he is a restorer. He breathes new life into beloved pairs, taking worn-out luxury derby shoes and repairing them until they are "good again." In a world of fast fashion, Sudirman represents the heart of Indonesian craftsmanship: patience, skill, and enduring quality.

At Ina Warehouse, we are proud to support artisans like Sudirman, bringing his generational mastery to the world stage.
