1. inventive Necessity is the mother of invention. Gravis designed a solution to slip on a lace up shoe. The original Hallmark EZ-ON/OFF is a great example of the inventive nature of Gravis. 2. detail Gravis designers pay attention to details. Custom logo applications, material selections and stitch detail give Gravis shoes a personality of their own. 3. traction Signature tread patterns and grippy rubber compound outsoles are the Gravis recipe for superior grip. Don’t get caught slippin’ 4. quality Shoes are vehicles for your feet and Gravis shoes are built to flip your odometer. Our Development Team selects the best quality grade materials to extend the life of our footwear. 5. durable Think about it, your shoes get abused. Kicked, dragged, soaked and scuffed on a daily basis. Gravis footwear is stitched and patterned to promote durablility. Long live Gravis footwear!!!

considered Gravis bag designs are smart, sleek and strong. Our stitch details and patterns are aestheticly pleasing and functional.
comfort The cornerstone of our bag design formula. Comfort is king and we reign supreme. Ergonomic padded straps and backstays are standard for Gravis.
consumer friendly We know our consumer and learn from our development team. This observation allows Gravis to provide solutions to the demand of daily use. Sketchbooks, electronics, cords, pens and pencils all have a home in a Gravis bag.
smart Gravis creates smart products. Zippers open and close in the proper direction. Pockets designed in the right location and comfort and fit are proportionate to the bag size.
organized Our bags do the thinking for you. The locations for your packable goods are already planned out. Pockets are designed to house your electronis, pens, krylon cans, books and magazines. Staying organized is a full time job so let Gravis bags do the work for you
strength The foundation for quality. At Gravis we build our bags to perform, not fail. We source the strongest nylons, webbings and pull tabs to withstand the use and abuse of our global development team
pack what you want It is OK to want more than you need. In fact, you can pack more than you need and all you want in every Gravis bag. It is amazing what people will carry in their bags. Gravis understands this and builds bags for the adventure of life.
