Early 2010s. The brand was shut down by parent company Wolverine in 2016, making these a discontinued 'cult classic' find.
Material
Heavyweight canvas upper with frayed-edge detailing, ventilated orange mesh/fabric lining, and man-made 'Manuka' honeycomb textured rubber outsole.

Demand Level
Niche but High. There is a dedicated market of buyers who only wear Cushe and hunt for New Old Stock pairs because they can no longer be bought at retail stores.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary recommended platform to reach the widest audience of collectors. Poshmark and Mercari are excellent secondary options.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Discontinued', 'Cult Classic', 'Barefoot Style', 'Lightweight', and 'New Old Stock'. Mention that the brand is no longer in production. Price them competitively high as NWT pairs are dwindling in supply.
