About Drucks
Drucks is building the future of footwear from the ground up. We are not creating another sneaker brand. We are rethinking how footwear should be designed, personalised, manufactured, and experienced.Think of Drucks as what Apple did to phones or Tesla did to cars, but for footwear. Hyper personalised. Custom fit. Ultra premium. Built with deep tech, obsessive design thinking, and an uncompromising focus on comfort and experience.We are building our own technology stack including printers, materials, and software. Design at Drucks is not about styling a product. It is about shaping a completely new category.

If you are a product designer who understands luxury, premium experiences, and customer-centric design, and you want to build something truly new, this role is for you.You will lead how Drucks thinks about form, function, comfort, materials, details, and customer experience.
