Revival of an Icon: The BS2000 Returns

First launched in 1990, the BS2000 redefined safety footwear by merging workplace protection with urban style. Now, Bata Industrials announces the revival of this icon—enhanced with modern safety tech while keeping its classic character.

Three decades ago, Bata Industrials broke new ground by being the first to blend cutting-edge protection with the bold look of urban workwear. That same spirit returns in the revival of the BS2000: authentic retro aesthetics combined with today’s high-performance technology.

The new BS2000 features a rugged leather/textile upper with a composite safety toe. Its lace-up design ensures a secure fit, while the FlexGuard® offers metal-free puncture resistance. A PU/rubber outsole provides strong grip, and the Premium Fit insole adds cushioned comfort for all-day wear.

With ’90s fashion booming, the BS2000’s revival meets demand for stylish yet affordable safety footwear. It delivers trusted protection with street-ready appeal—proof that true design stands the test of time.
