Our notes
The Chicago High-Top takes our chunky retro sneaker and runs it up over the ankle — that late-90s dad-shoe silhouette with a bit more attitude and a lot more support. The pair for when you want presence underfoot and a sneaker that makes a statement of its own.
The look is built on contrast: clean panels of our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) broken up with breathable mesh through the sides and ankle, so they've got the layered, technical face of a proper high-top runner — an all-white pair that stays clean and versatile against jeans, joggers or shorts. The leather's water-resistant and wipes clean, which counts on a white shoe you'll actually live in. Metal eyelets and lace tips in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy) run the lacing right up the ankle, and there's an embroidered WVS pull tab on the tongue for pulling them on.
The high collar is where these earn their keep — wrapped in padding that cushions and supports the ankle, so they feel locked in rather than loose. Underneath, a chunky TR outsole with a light tread is sculpted for shock absorption and lift, sitting you up on a 4.5cm heel and 2.5cm toe. It's got the stance but stays light and flexible, and cushioned layered insoles — soft memory foam over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) — keep them comfortable from morning to night.
Inside, soft Tencel™ linings run the length of the shoe — breathable, moisture-wicking, and comfortable enough to wear with socks or without.
