A Design Deeply Rooted in South Bend History

Inspired by the iconic “The Bend” alternate uniforms worn by the 2025 basketball teams, this shoe features a commanding black and gold colorway that offers a sleek, modern look. The visual design is rich with local details:

The Script: The defining feature is the script “The Bend” graphic, rendered in an elegant, gold, cursive font across the side panels—a direct nod to the marquee “South Bend” sign on the Madison Oyster Bar.

Unique Numbers: The custom gold number-style print (like ’25’ or ’34’) on the heel counter is inspired by the classic typography found on vintage Studebaker cars, a hallmark of South Bend’s history.

Color & Texture: The shoe features a mix of a smooth black leather base and patterned textile sections, giving the design depth. Gold accents highlight the stitching and logo elements, completing the rich, premium feel.

Engineered on the classic, cushioned Air Force platform, these custom Notre Dame shoes ensure maximum comfort and durability for all-day wear. By integrating the local South Bend city flag elements (which pull lines from the St. Joseph River), this footwear allows every true fan to confidently represent the whole Notre Dame community. Get yours and walk with Irish pride!
