Go the Extra Mile

Travel, work, walk, cycle, dance, jump… Whatever you and your feet get up to the Solid Sneakers are ready for it

What you told us was wrong with old sneakers out there?

The leather falls apart.

The soles did a runner.

The seams gave up the ghost

The eye-watering price

New name, same durability, even more comfort.

Built by You

After ten iterations, our Solid Sneakers have become the Classic Sneakers. The name may have changed, but their toughness? Still rock-solid. We’ve refined these kicks based on feedback from thousands of you, perfecting the formula to deliver a sneaker that's as durable as ever—only now with a major comfort upgrade. Ready for the big reveal?

Comfort Elevated

Yep, we found even more ways to make them comfier. Think a redesigned insole —thicker, snugger at the heel, and still removable for extra practicality. Plus, we’ve swapped in a mesh-and-foam combo that feels like walking on clouds. The inner lining? Now a mix of leather and breathable mesh for maximum comfort without the sweaty aftermath.

Balanced Design

Our team finessed every detail for a cleaner look and a more even lace pattern. It's all about millimetres here, but trust us—it makes a huge difference. Those tiny tweaks mean your sneakers will hold their shape better and age more gracefully, looking sleek for seasons to come.

Italian Lush Leather

We’ve partnered with Poletto in Italy for ultra-smooth leather that’s durable yet soft, perfect for weathering the elements and ageing with character. For the suede leather, we're sticking with Mastrotto, our go-to for leather that’s tough but never stiff, keeping your feet comfy without the cracks. Wether in smooth or suede leather, depending on the colour, all fare calfskin, with are preferred to cheap pig leather, which isn’t breathable and retains odours.

Soles That Stand Firm

Our sturdy soles from Globotrilha in Portugal haven’t changed a bit. These soles are all about resilience, ready to handle urban adventures or countryside strolls with equal ease. Your Classic Sneakers are here to stay.

Built with Strobel

Strobel stitching isn’t just a method; it’s the backbone of our sneakers. This technique sews the upper directly onto the sole, creating unbeatable flexibility and durability. In short, your feet will thank you.

Breathe Easy

Ventilation is key, so we’ve kept the four side eyelets for breathability even on the warmest days. No more sweaty feet, just fresh air flow to keep things cool.

Laced to Last

We’ve locked down those flat, waxed cotton laces to keep them neat and durable. With metal eyelets that stand up to daily wear, your laces will stay put and your sneakers will always look on point. Plus, the tongue now has a handy slot to keep everything snug and tidy.

'AH WOW’

That’s the sound 99% of wearers make when they step into their Classic Sneakers for the first time. Okay, maybe not everyone says it out loud, but the feeling’s there. From our earlier versions to this latest upgrade, we’re sure these kicks will have you feeling the difference from day one.
