"Footwear is the unique object that can change the mood, as well as the stride and posture, of the wearer. That's why focusing on the foot's anatomy, rhythm and movement, is so vital to footwear design,” says SANGMIN PARK, founder of 4CCCCEES.
After graduating from the Royal College of Art in London with a master’s degree in Footwear Design, and subsequently working for renowned fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen and becoming head designer at United Nude, Korean-born Sang-Min Park decided to set up her own label in 2019. Seeking to merge comfort with a fashion-forward aesthetic, 4CCCCEES brings a new dimension to the industry, pushing the boundaries of materiality and form thanks to innovation in technology and manipulation.
Sang-Min Park set up 4CCCCEES with four guiding principles: Confidence | Comfort | Contemporary | Curiosity
The four C’s outline Park’s personal mission to bring something new to the footwear market and showcase the cutting-edge of design through her work. Through her curiosity, she has merged a contemporary aesthetic with comfort, empowering and bringing confidence to those who wear them.

ABOUT OUR NEW SS26 COLLECTION
GET TO KNOW WHAT INSPIRED IT
SPRING SUMMER 2026
The season continues 4CCCCEES’ exploration of duality — where lightness meets structure, and softness finds support. The collection moves between presence and absence, refining functional elements into expressive forms. Through new constructions and considered detailing, SS26 reveals how simplicity can hold depth, and how balance can feel both visual and tactile.
INSPIRATION
I focus on formulating functional elements into visual or tactile impressions and look for these elements that are in constant motion. It is perhaps no surprise that nature is often a big part of the inspiration, as it continuously evolves, changes and attracts, either it is instant or gradual. I observe and try to understand its logic and find beauty in it; the result being, a functional, poetic and playful collection.
DETAILS
Handcrafted textures, sculptural folds, and layered surfaces appear throughout the collection. Adjustable straps, varied fastening systems, and softly padded elements enhance comfort and adaptability. Material contrasts — smooth and rough, matte and reflective — create visual rhythm, while considered proportions and tactile finishes bring depth and quiet movement to minimal forms.
