In the first week of April, footwear company Oliver Cabell is dropping an elegant and modern sneaker silhouette in a black and white colorway. The Renners trainer combines retro aesthetic with sporty comfort in a premium leather silhouette of 3.0 oz full-grain Tuscan leather. The luxurious pair also boasts a delicate, Spanish calfskin detailing and a durable, Italian rubber outsole by Dami.

The modern sneaker is a go-to option for casual occasions or running errands. Thanks to its luxurious exterior, however, the footwear will definitely bring effortless style to any sporty ensemble.

In addition, the Renners trainers are hand-stitched and laced in Albacete, Spain, which gives the shoe a distinctive artisan quality and a degree of detail that would satisfy even a craftsman's eye.
