Collegium Introduces a New Set of Sneakers
The emerging new California based brand Collegium introduces a set of clean sneakers that are designed with a retro flair. This includes the Pillar Destroyer High and the Pillar Destroyer Low, which have both sold out very quickly when they were released.
The shoes are all made by hand in Italy, even down to intricate details such as the stitching. It is crafted using soft Italian calf leather materials and has a Margom natural rubber material making up the outsoles. The laces are a waxed Italian cotton fabric and the insoles are removable. This is made from a blend of leather and thick polyurethane, which are detailed with branding accents also seen on the rear quarter.
