With Biion, we aim to expand our existing product range, offering the best quality footwear to the Indian fashion-conscious consumer," said Nissan Joseph, Chief Executive Officer, Metro Brands Limited
Derived from the ancient Greek' bios', which means 'life', Biion is the expression of being fully alive and was created to empower people to make the most of all they do in life. Anyone can wear these shoes, from professional leisurists, practitioners, and players, to the trailblazers, trendsetters or influencers who live their life to the fullest and enjoy what they do. Biion footwear is gender-neutral and can be as easily paired with a contemporary formal wardrobe as with chic party attire.
Biion creates lightweight, comfortable, and multi-functional EVA shoes. The shoes are airy with little BioVents and have anti-microbial properties making them ideal for professionals who need to be on their feet for long hours. Their HEXTRA-GRIP traction outsoles provide an extremely low-profile performance, offering the ultimate connection to the ground with just the right balance.
