Hanging from the rafters



Basketball sneakers utilize the latest technologies and push creative boundaries in ways less often seen in men's dress shoes. We believe that men today are ready to break the mold and wear something different from the shoe styles that have been around for the past 100 years.  We pull inspiration from basketball sneakers to innovate the style of dress shoes, while still working with traditional high quality materials that keep the shoes appropriate for any occasion.

In addition to shoes, athletics are influencing us to rethink other menswear essentials. Stay tuned. 


Basketball brings all different types of people together. A pickup game can quickly turn a group of strangers into a team united by a competitive spirit. It's unlike anything else. The Rafter Club is taking this streetball mentality into the business world. By combining the formal social club components of sports like golf and polo with the diversity and swagger of basketball culture, we are building a community that cultivates fresh ideas. It's time to network like a pickup game, where everyone gets a chance to contribute and strangers become teammates.
