A short first look at the shape, the details and how the shoe sits in a normal day.
A short vertical video showing the Tictic shoe from several angles: the full silhouette, a slow pass across the upper and stitching, a close-up of the sole, and the shoe worn while walking on a city street. The video ends on the words "Join the Tictic waiting list".

public/assets/product/hero.webpThe story
Most brands launch with fifteen models and hope one of them lands. Tictic starts with the opposite bet: a single everyday shoe, refined until it earns a place by the door — the pair you reach for without thinking, that works with jeans on a Tuesday and doesn't look out of place on a Saturday night.
Getting there takes longer than picking a sample off a catalogue. Every decision on the first release — the shape of the toe, the height of the collar, what the sole does when you walk on wet pavement — is still open. We would rather move slowly and get the first pair right than rush a launch nobody asked for.
That is why there is a waiting list instead of a shop. Before anything is produced, we want to know that the shoe people are seeing is the shoe people actually want. The list is how we find that out.
We are not asking you to buy anything. We are asking whether this is worth making.
What we're designing for
These are design intentions, not finished specifications. Each one is confirmed only when the first production sample passes.
One sentence on the first design intention — e.g. the everyday-wear goal. Replace once the first sample is confirmed.
One sentence on the second design intention — e.g. the versatility goal. Replace once the first sample is confirmed.
One sentence on the third design intention — e.g. the construction goal. Replace once the first sample is confirmed.
Free. No purchase commitment.
Before the release
Joining isn't a queue for a product that already exists. It's how a small group of people see the work in progress and tell us what they think.
You hear about samples, dates and decisions as they are made — not a drip campaign.
The colourway and size run are shown to the list before they are shown anywhere else.
We ask the list directly — colour, height, details — and the answers change what gets made.
A small group that watched the first pair get built, from the first sketch onwards.
Joining the list does not reserve a pair, guarantee stock, or include a discount.
Free. No purchase commitment.
Release
Everything below is either confirmed or openly unconfirmed. We'd rather show you an empty field than a made-up one.

One field is required. The rest helps us make better decisions about the first release — skip anything you'd rather not share.
FAQ
No. Tictic is not for sale, and there is no checkout on this site. The only thing you can do here is join the waiting list.
To be confirmed. We haven't set a public release date, and we won't announce one until the first production sample is signed off. The list hears it first.
You give us your email. We email you when there's a real update — a sample, a decision, a date. That's the whole mechanism. No queue position, no countdown, no automated sequence.
No. Joining is free, takes no payment details, reserves nothing and obliges you to nothing. If the shoe isn't for you when it launches, ignore the email or unsubscribe.
To be confirmed. The size run is one of the things we're using the list to decide — that's why the form asks for your usual size.
To be confirmed. We'll show the candidate colourways to the list before anything is finalised.
Yes, eventually — but it is to be confirmed. We won't quote a number until manufacturing costs are settled, because a guess now would be a number we'd have to walk back.
By email, to the address you give on this page. We don't post updates only to social, and we won't text you.
Yes, at any time. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, or you can email privacy@tictic.com and we'll remove you.
We store your email and whatever optional details you chose to give, so we can send you release updates and plan the first run. We don't sell it or share it with advertisers. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Free. No purchase commitment.
