Jonak Paris is a French shoe design company founded in 1964 by Marcel and Josette Nakam. Jonak has been offering stylish rock-inspired shoes since its inception in 1964 for a fashionable and quirky look.

This story begins in 1964, in Paris, rue Saint-Placide, when Marcel and Josette Nakam opened their first shoe store. Already, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a vision, that of a job well done, of a taste for beauty and sincerity.1 Alongside Marcel, his wife Josette, who stands out for her elegance and strength, and his son Joseph, who does not yet know that he will build, one stone after another and as a matter of course, one of the big names in French footwear. By forming the name Jonak, a fusion of their first name and surname Nakam, Marcel seals the fate Jonak is and will remain a family adventure.2 Its annual catalog presents 500 different shoe models.3 This bet on proximity is a winner since, in the 2000s, Jonak opened numerous points of sale.

In 2008 Jonak was present at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann and Printemps Haussmann. 5

It is by thinking back to the hours spent in this backroom symbolic of the brand's development during their childhood that Marcel and Lisa, two of Joseph's four children, decided in 2012 to join the ship alongside their father. With them, the digital trigger and the desire to infuse Jonak with the contemporaneity that has always shaped it.67 Respect for craftsmanship is then combined with cutting-edge collaborations, the experiential concept of stores is affirmed and is available both online and internationally.8
