Jhung Yuro

Jhung Yuro Footwear

Passionate about shoes, Kris Wright, founder of Jhung Yuro established the brand and released their first collection in 2005. Jhung Yuro, pronounced as “Young Euro” is based on Wright’s extensive tour around the world with a concept structured on fashionable people and their desire to find high-quality, unique trend-setting goods and who sees the luxury of life as a necessity and not just a desire. Jhung Yuro is a combination of cultures from the 7 continents of the world, each made by hand, with intimate detailing and sturdy, comfortable materials to give a lasting elegance to the shoe.

With an open mind to expanding their creativity, media and artistry in shoe-making and designing, Jhung Yuro has been involved in collaborations with Hennessy, which is a wine brand and Sole Collector and Tanner Goods. Their collaboration with Hennessy resulted in an alluring ad with one of Jhung Yuro’s shoes embedded with Hennessy’s logo and a bottle of wine from Hennessy – thus, combining “success” and “athleticism” into one image.

The brand has a collection of sneakers and high-cut and low-cut quality rubber shoes for men and women. Their mixture of simplicity and classical look has become one of the reasons why the brand grew a stable consumer fan base. Made of strong materials, elaborated in eccentric designs and printed with the cool Jhung Yuro logo, the brand’s collection had a different look all in its own.
