Since 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has brought together legendary artists and rising stars on the serene shores of Lake Geneva – a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection.
Baabuk, rooted just across the lake in Lausanne, shares the same values: local pride, bold international vision, and an unwavering belief in doing things differently. For over 10 years, Baabuk has handcrafted wool footwear using ethical materials and timeless design.
At the heart of this collaboration is the Swiss Blacknose sheep – an iconic breed from the Valais Alps, cherished for its rugged charm and striking appearance. Often called the cutest sheep in the world, it's a living symbol of Swiss heritage and mountain life. Its wool brings texture, character, and authenticity to this unique sneaker.
Together, Montreux Jazz Festival and Baabuk present: The Lakeside Wooler - A sneaker that captures the rhythm of the festival, the calm of the lake, and the spirit of the mountains.
