If you want to identify the best sneakers, you need to look very closely at how they’re made. A shoe that carries the label “Made in Italy” could be manufactured in other countries, with only the last step being performed in Italy.
That’s not how we do things.
All steps - from design to cutting the leather to boxing the shoe - take place at our partner manufacturer in Veneto, Italy. They are working with the leading luxury labels of the world due to our long relationship we are able to offer the shoes to everyone
We take made in Italy Very serious. Soles, leather, and even our shoe boxes are sourced in the immediate region surrounding our manufacturer in the hillsides of Veneto.
When it comes to the shoe, other brands use pre-made components such as coated, lower quality skins and pre bought components such as margom soles we invest heavily in our product make and mould our own soles to create a unique and perfect fitting sole. We take no shortcuts and only use the highest quality leather for our sneakers. After a few weeks of wear, you see the difference: Our shoes stay nicer and adjust comfortably to your feet.
Tradition sometimes needs to be shaken up. Instead of adhering to antiquated fashion industry ideas of seasons and trend cycles, we take a fresh approach to releasing new, affordable product. Each month, we launch a new style, growing our men’s and women’s footwear collections while creating dialogue and connection with our clients—not to mention more immediate gratification.
