Inside Saigon, Vietnam: Where the 7ODS Malanka Takes Shape

Behind every finished pair of 7ODS Malanka is a long sequence of hands, machines, materials and checks. In Saigon, the shoe slowly takes shape, step by step, from separate pieces to a finished smart sneaker.

Stitching is one of the stages we care about most. The lines, panels and reinforcements all have to sit correctly before the shoe can move forward. It is technical work, but also very human work, done one pair at a time.

The sole is another important part of the process. It has to be positioned, assembled and finished precisely, because the 7ODS is not only a sneaker. It also carries the SmartPulse System™ inside, which makes the construction more complex than a standard shoe.

Once assembled, every pair goes through finishing and checking. Small details matter: stitching, surfaces, alignment, shape. Most of this disappears from view once the sneaker is finished, but it is what gives the final product its consistency.

Then comes the final step: packing each pair into its MYKOOD carrying case, ready to leave the factory. From Saigon, the finished 7ODS Malanka begins the next part of its journey. Packed, loaded and ready to move.

A sneaker first. Smart wellness built in. Made through many hands, many steps, and a lot of attention to detail.

All of this leads to one simple moment.

A finished pair on someone’s feet, ready for everyday life. Built to look like a sneaker, designed to deliver wellness through technology you can actually feel.

From the first stitch to the final check, every step has one purpose: creating a better experience once you put them on.

And behind every one of those steps is the same thing: passion. Passion for the details, for the craft, and for turning an idea into something people can truly feel.

We create technology you can feel.
