Sorry, this style is discontinued and won't be returning. While we introduce each style to stay forever, sometimes it's time to say goodbye so we can avoid overproduction and focus on refining our timeless, core collection.

A proper chunky sneaker. These have the full late-'90s sports silhouette — sculpted sole, layered panels, a slightly exaggerated stance — but done in soft, clean color rather than anything loud. Blush pink, sky blue and warm cream, always against white, so the shape does the talking and the palette stays gentle.

The upper is built in layers you can read at a glance. Smooth white vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) laid over open woven panels at the toe and quarter, with gray overlays wrapping the heel and the eyestay — each piece edged, stitched and set slightly proud of the one beneath, so even the palest colorway has depth and shadow in it.

The sole is where the volume comes from: a chunky TR outsole in tonal gray, curving in a wave along the sidewall and cut with a deep tread underneath, lifting and lengthening the foot without weighing it down. The collar and tongue are padded generously, there's a woven pull tab at the heel, and the lacing runs through metal eyelets in zamak, a durable zinc alloy. Underfoot, a layered insole with a soft memory-foam top on a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU).

Each color does something a little different — pink is the warmest, with the blush picked up again as a stripe through the sole stack; blue is the crispest and most sporty; cream is the quiet one that goes with everything.

Wear them with gray sweats and a hoodie, wide or barrel-leg denim, cropped pants with a bit of ankle showing, or a slip skirt or midi when you want something chunky under something soft. The woven panels keep them light and cool, so they're as much a summer sneaker as a winter one. Comfortable, good-looking, and easy to keep reaching for.

This product is certified carbon-neutral and ethically made in Portugal under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law. It's vegan from the uppers and linings to the glue. It's delivered to you through our carbon-neutral supply chain in plastic-free paper and cardboard packaging.

Made with Italian bio-based vegan leather containing 62–66% plant-origin renewable materials. Produced in Italy using modern water-based, non-solvent processes, combining a viscose backing with a next-generation bio-based polyurethane surface.
Clean: Wipe the uppers and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth or soft brush, then towel dry thoroughly. Polish: A synthetic polish can be used to bring back shine and refresh the color — any synthetic product should work fine, applied as described in its instructions. If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides. Drying: You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine. Deodorizing: Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodorizer until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodorizer. Waterproofing (optional): You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather.

We've made this chart to help you choose the right size. You'll need your foot length measurement to get started. Once you've found your perfect fit with us, you can typically select the same size for all other models.

Fit and comfort notes:

  • Width and volume: our footwear is designed with a slightly wider D width fitting, offering more width and volume than most brands.
  • Materials: we use high quality vegan leather and suede. These materials are stable and won't stretch out significantly over time, so we recommend sizing up for comfort.
  • The perfect fit: you don't want the shoes to pinch your feet. You should have wiggle room for your toes and no rub points.
  • Feel: in most cases you'll find our footwear is comfy straight out of the box. Depending on the style or your foot shape, it can sometimes take a few wears for the uppers to soften and mold to your feet.

How to take your foot length measurement

  • Stand on a hard surface with your heel against a wall.
  • Measure your foot from the heel (the wall) to the longest point of your toes.
  • Use this number to find your size in the chart above.

It is helpful to measure both feet, as one foot is often slightly larger than the other. Always choose the size that accommodates your longest foot.

We provide 365 days free returns and exchanges. You can swap sizes or styles as many times as you need, and you can return for a full refund at any point.
