HIGH-TOPS IN OUR DNA

Spring/Summer 21 — Men's

Refined neutrals with a bang of color. Step into spring with a fresh take, you deserve it.

A modern and refined sole is fused with a classic Chukka upper resulting in a perfect mix of style, comfort, and versatility. Chukka goes everywhere with you, whether it’s dining outside under the heat lamps or your future travels.

Fall/Winter 20

Casual and cool, each colorway tells a different story. Go classic, with the monochromatic Capri Slate Grey, Midnight, and Sahara. Go bold, with the bright color accents of the Capri White/Turquoise and White/Yellow. Either way, there’s something for you.

Metro

We’re going 80s this summer. The Metro is a classic silhouette with a Koio spin. Outfitted with full-grain leather, featuring Strobel construction for a more cushioned walk.

NEW ARRIVALS = NEW CLASSICS

Every detail of every design we craft contains the highest level of intent. We are always growing and evolving, and are incredibly proud of our freshest creations.

Capri

Our Italian sneaker is a minimalist low-top style with cult status. It elevates all notions of where a sneaker can be worn.

Quality over everything

We take made in Italy one step further. Soles, leather, and even our shoe boxes are sourced in the immediate region surrounding our manufacturer in Marche.

Decades of experience

The last is one of the most important ingredients of any shoe. Italians call it “forma” and it gives the shoe its form and shape. Good that we have the best lastmakers in the world on our side.

Made in italy, worn everywhere.

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.
