Elegant Archival Nubuck Sneakers

Italian sportswear label Ellesse revisits one of its most iconic sneaker silhouettes, bringing it back one more time -- the Piazza OG footwear model is a highly esteemed silhouette. Packer Shoes' founder Mike Packer describes the model as his "personal white whale."

For the current season, Packer and Ellesse dive into its archives to bring life to the iconic sneaker once again. The sneakers retain its mid-top structure, with simplistic sensibilities delivered with the muted gray and white fusion across the uppers. The gray is added through the nubuck materials and the white compliments the design with mesh. For contrasting detailing, there are colorful branding details at the heel referring to Ellesse, perfectly fusing athletic elements with a touch of elegance.
