Analysis based on aggregated reviews from expert sources, Reddit, and YouTube.
Pros
- +Full cost transparency — publicly shares production costs
- +Clean minimalist design with good colorway selection
- +Previously among the best value minimalist sneakers
Cons
- −Production moved from Italy to Vietnam in 2024 — quality noticeably declined
- −Leather lining replaced with synthetic mesh while price stayed the same
- −Increased QC issues (creasing, glue marks, uneven stitching)
- −Sizing runs slightly large — order half-size down
Best for
Value-conscious buyers who want Italian-made quality without the luxury markup.
Common complaints
QC inconsistency — some pairs arrive with minor glue marks or uneven stitching.
Summary
The most-recommended leather sneaker on r/malefashionadvice for the money. Italian calfskin, Margom sole, and full cost transparency make this a compelling DTC value play. Quality rivals sneakers costing twice as much, though occasional QC issues keep it from the top tier.
