It shall be an innovative and versatile product, which can adapt to several occasions, while complying with the style indications set out below.
Style: your models shall reflect the REPLAY DNA, faithful to the heritage style that reinterprets icons of the past in an innovative and contemporary way.

Target: the target group of your shoes is made up of men and women aged between 25 and 44 years, which live deep inside the metropolitan atmosphere and are always looking for functional products that might follow them in every occasion, without giving up quality and style, two important synonymous of REPLAY.
