Sneakers designed in the south of France that ooze the class you might expect.
If you’ve ever been to the south of France in summer you should know that only three styles of shoe are deemed socially acceptable for a man to sport. First is the Boat Shoe which obviously should be reserved for the over 70s. Second is the loafer (including the driving shoe) which is always a great idea until you realise how uncomfy they are. And last but not least is the leather sneak for those who wish for fantastic accompaniment to their white jeans without having to sacrifice comfort.
In consideration of this it is no wonder that a brand like Zespa has popped up to cater for these needs. Of course the versatility of the leather sneak knows no borders or bounds but it’s important to note it’s spiritual home just like the Clogg in the Netherlands, the Jordan in the US or the Airmax 95 in England.
As a brand Zespa focus on craftmanship and use ‘noble ingredients’ but price their shoes at a level they describe as ‘democratic’. As far as fashion Jargon goes this definitely tickles our fancy. Also notable is the fact that their products are made with a relatively low carbon footprint thanks to only 1200 km separating their offices from their workshop in Portugal and their use of European tanneries. This locality is sort of infrastructure that can can actually really aid the environment. You can read more about it on their website here.
