White Canvas Ballerinas — The Original

She gave the brand its name. Born in 1965 for the Spartakiads — those gigantic gymnastics demonstrations that filled Prague stadium with tens of thousands of gymnasts moving in sync — the white cvička had to be light, flexible, and simple enough for an entire country to wear. It did just that: from stadiums, it moved to schoolyards, where generations wore it for gym class, unchanged — only the tricolor was added to the side in 1985. If the collection's colors are a wardrobe, the white is the staple piece: it goes with everything, because it was designed to suit everyone.
