Designer Elle AyoubZadeh created a world inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s​ "The Man​ in the Arena."​

Those words were never far when the Ray sneaker was created. They also perfectly describe the man she designs for.

Photographed by frequent collaborator Daniel Harrison, this story speaks of power, mastery, and triumph.

The Ray launched Zvelle men’s with a design that elevated the sneaker concept. Its tailored lines reveal the sneaker’s dress boot soul.

They are handcrafted using full grain deerskin for an unmistakably luxurious texture.

Ray’s fit is as legendary as its feel.

The lines of beauty are not decoration. They draw power.
