Egypt’s Mohamed Fares Collaborates with Be Native on Exclusive Sneaker

In a rare collision of art, fashion, and urban memory, Mohamed Fares, Partner and Co-founder at Alchemy and founder of MF & Associates, has joined forces with Be Native on a one-of-one, hand-drawn sneaker titled Urban Soul. The piece will be showcased at Tamara Haus from November 23 to 29, where bidding officially opens—starting at 10,000 EGP.

For Be Native, the collaboration is a natural extension of its ethos. The brand has long championed localized craftsmanship and culturally rooted streetwear; celebrating native stories, native materials, and native creators. Urban Soul fits squarely into that mission, acting as both object and cultural artifact.

Fares, known for his architectural illustration style draws Downtown Cairo’s layers, textures, and human rhythms onto the sneaker’s surface.
