Nude + Gaia. NUGAIA is a barefoot footwear brand founded in 2025 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

At the core of NUGAIA lies a desire to return the body to the natural intelligence of movement, translating that freedom into technological, understated design. We create footwear that allows the foot to function as nature intended — without restriction, with freedom and lightness in every step.

The brand name is a union of Nude, symbolizing the natural and the primal, and Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth. This fusion reflects our core values: simplicity, authenticity, and respect for nature.

We do not simply create footwear.

We create an experience.

Every pair of NUGAIA embodies the aesthetics of movement, care for the body, and responsibility toward the environment. We choose our materials consciously, adhere to ethical production, and believe in the power of sustainable development.

Our silhouettes are timeless, considered, and durable — designed to remain part of your wardrobe for years, without losing relevance.

For us, true luxury is the ability to move naturally.
