Three Details That Make Sagene Extra Special

From the inside out, this sneaker is a blend of Helene Olafsen’s personality, Kastel’s expertise, and the beauty of Norwegian summers. It’s a reflection of movement, adventure, and the little things that make life feel special.
Here are three details that make Sagene anything but ordinary.
1. A Secret Garden Inside 🌸
Step into Helene’s world—literally. The insole of Sagene is printed with an actual photo from Helene’s own garden—a place bursting with wildflowers, color, and summer energy. It’s where she unwinds, recharges, and soaks in the best of Norwegian summer.
Even though no one else will see it, you’ll know it’s there. And every time you slip on Sagene, it’s like carrying a piece of summer with you—wherever you go.

2. A Tribute to Norwegian Summers 🏔️
Look closely at the custom embroidered label on the tongue, and you’ll see something special. Inspired by retro sneaker designs, this label was created just for this collab and features mountains—a nod to the landscapes that have shaped Helene’s life.
Nature has always been a part of her story. From cold winter peaks to long summer hikes, the mountains are where she’s pushed her limits, found her balance, and felt most at home. Now, that feeling is stitched into every pair of Sagene sneakers.

3. Signed by Helene Herself ✍️
Sagene is the sneaker Helene always wished existed. A shoe that’s light, breathable, and built for movement—but also full of personality.
That’s why her signature is right there on the side—a personal stamp on the shoes she helped create. Her energy, personality, and love for movement are in every stitch. And that signature? It’s her way of saying,
“This one’s for you—now go make it yours.”

Sagene Isn’t Just a Sneaker—It’s a Feeling.
It’s a little bit of summer, a little bit of nostalgia, and a whole lot of personality. Every detail—from the hidden flowers inside to the mountains on the label and Helene’s signature—tells a story.
And now, it’s your turn to write the next chapter.
