SJ Lifestyle Defies the Status Quo with Affordable, Stylish, and Sustainable Sneakers
The sneaker game in the Philippines just got a major upgrade with SJ Lifestyle, a brand born from the Cortina family’s 70-year heritage of crafting premium footwear. SJ seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation to deliver stylish, sustainable and affordable sneakers that make every step count.
Disrupting the Sneaker Scene
SJ Lifestyle is challenging the market by proving that feature-packed sneakers made with high-quality materials do not have to come with a hefty price tag. Instead, the Belgian footwear brand believes in giving customers real value without compromise.
“We’re thrilled to bring SJ sneakers to the Philippines,” said Dieter Vyls, Commercial Director of SJ Lifestyle, Belgium. “The Filipino market deserves footwear that’s not only stylish but also aligned with the values of sustainability and comfort. We’re confident SJ will resonate with the growing community of eco-conscious, comfort driven consumers here.”
With prices ranging from ₱2,500 to ₱5,000, SJ offers affordable sneakers that feature trendy designs and superior comfort that easily get you through the day pain-free. The cherry on top? These shoes are made with recycled materials. Not only do these sneakers look good, but they are also environmentally friendly.
Guided by the brand’s “Freedom to Move” tagline, the SJ lineup of sneakers encourages wearers to embrace life’s adventures while owning their personal style. Whether they’re working hard on weekdays, enjoying downtime, or hitting the town on weekends, these sneakers are designed to help them have fun, feel great, and look their best—all while being kind to the planet.
