The colored soles make NOVESTA sneakers stand out from the ground up. From colors similar to the upper to accents of green, brown, and yellow, the color of the rubber can give the same model a new look.
In this article, we will introduce the rubber technology cultivated by our own factory in Slovakia and the differences between the two models through the colored soles of MARATHON TRAIL and STAR MASTER photographed in 2025.
What is NOVESTA's color sole?
Colored soles are specifications in which color is added to the outsole or part of the sole. Although the area visible from the hem of the pants is small, the color appears when you walk or look from the side, and it becomes an accent to your basic outfit.
NOVESTA incorporates colors to match the structure of the retro running shoes MARATHON and the vulcanized canvas sneakers STAR MASTER.
Rubber technology cultivated at our own factory in Slovakia
NOVESTA's history begins in 1939 with the construction of a footwear and rubber products factory in what is now Slovakia. At the factory, natural rubber is mixed with materials that add elasticity and strength, and pigments for coloring, and then kneaded over time.
Our many years of experience in producing rubber sole shoes and industrial rubber have led us to produce colored soles that produce rich colors with consistent quality. Regarding the manufacturing processNOVESTA head office factoryBut you can take a closer look.
MARATHON TRAIL color sole
MARATHON is a standard model of NOVESTA, which has a background in running shoes from the former Czechoslovakia era. Among these, the MARATHON TRAIL features a textured outsole and an upper that combines suede and nylon.
Adding colors like green, brown, and yellow to a neutral beige or white upper can give the classic running shoe shape more dimension. The color scheme matches the color of the shoelaces and heel, allowing you to enjoy different accents from the front, side, and back.

STAR MASTER DUO sole
STAR MASTER is NOVESTA's signature low-tech sneaker that combines a canvas upper and a natural rubber vulcanized sole. The rubber that covers the toe and the detailed design on the sides add personality to the simple shape.
The DUO sole combines different colors in parts of the sole. Since the color area is reduced compared to a single color sole, bright pinks and blues will blend better with your outfit, making it an easy choice for those who want to subtly incorporate color.
MARATHON or STAR MASTER, which one would you choose?
If you're looking for cushioning, a textured sole, and a retro running shoe feel, look no further than MARATHON TRAIL. If you're looking for a thin, clean silhouette and the lightness of a canvas sneaker, STAR MASTER is recommended.
The two models have different lasts and foot inserts. Don't just decide based on the numbers on the size chart; compare it with your NOVESTA or other brands' EU (FR) sizes. For more detailsNOVESTA size guideYou can check.
