Oncept Shoes & Sneakers
A New York Take on the Classic Sneaker
Looking for a sneaker that feels more considered than the usual everyday shoe? Oncept takes inspiration from retro sport and reshapes it through a distinctly modern New York lens, combining streamlined silhouettes, elevated materials, flexible construction, and details designed for everyday movement. The result is footwear that can work with denim, tailoring, travel clothes, and the rest of your wardrobe without feeling tied to one occasion. From signature sneakers to seasonal styles, Abbadabba's offers the brand for customers looking for footwear that balances design, versatility, and comfort.
Born in New York. Inspired by Everywhere.
Oncept was founded in New York City in 2021 by Megan Key Campos and Nick Lucio, two footwear-industry veterans who brought decades of combined experience in design and sourcing to the brand. Their idea was to create a different kind of footwear company—one focused on a carefully edited selection of modern essentials rather than constantly expanding collections.
The brand draws from global retro sport influences, then filters those references through a cleaner, more contemporary design perspective. Instead of chasing every trend, Oncept focuses on silhouettes, materials, proportions, and color stories that can continue working beyond one season.
That philosophy extends to how Oncept develops its footwear. The brand emphasizes material integrity, flexibility, versatility, and thoughtful production, with the goal of creating pieces that integrate into everyday life rather than being worn for just one moment.

The Details Behind the Oncept Edit
1. Recycled Rubber Outsole. Reuses production rubber waste to create an outsole designed for durability and traction.
2. Biomass Cushioning. Uses cushioning compounds made partly from plant-based materials to provide lightweight, flexible comfort.
The Oncept Difference
Oncept approaches sneakers as wardrobe essentials rather than disposable trends.
Its design language starts with familiar retro-sport references but strips away unnecessary elements, refining the proportions, materials, and details for contemporary everyday wear. The brand describes this approach as creating “edits” rather than traditional collections—fewer styles, developed with greater intention.
That makes Oncept particularly interesting for someone who wants a sneaker to do more than complete a casual outfit. The same pair can become part of a travel wardrobe, a workday look, or a weekend uniform without looking like it was designed exclusively for one of those situations.
Oncept footwear is made for people who don’t want to choose between looking good and feeling comfortable. Each pair is designed with intention —balancing fashion, function, and durability so you can move confidently through your day.
Who Is Oncept For?
The Minimalist
You like clean silhouettes and thoughtful details more than loud branding or trend-heavy designs.
The Retro Sneaker Fan
You appreciate vintage athletic references but want something more refined than a straight reproduction of an old-school sneaker.
The Wardrobe Builder
You want footwear that works with multiple outfits rather than a pair designed for one specific look.
The Material Person
You notice leather, suede, textiles, texture, color, and the way different materials work together.
The City Walker
You spend your days moving through the city and want a sneaker that works with both casual and more polished clothing.
The Traveler
You value versatility and want footwear that can transition between walking, exploring, meals, and everyday plans.
The Intentional Shopper
You'd rather have a few well-designed pieces that you can wear repeatedly than a closet full of shoes that only work with one outfit.
Fit & Comfort Tips
Look at the Silhouette
Oncept styles vary in shape, so don't assume one model will fit exactly like another.
Check the Forefoot
Make sure your toes have enough room to move without pressing against the sides or front.
Pay Attention to the Materials
Leather, suede, nylon, and textile uppers can feel different on the foot and may have different levels of flexibility.
Consider the Sole
Some Oncept models have more substantial retro-sport-inspired soles, while others have a lighter profile. Think about what feels natural for how you walk.
Try Them with Your Usual Socks
Especially important if you're buying Oncept as an everyday sneaker.
Walk in Both Shoes
Check heel hold, forefoot space, and overall comfort before deciding.
