Alder White

The smell of walking into a gym for the very first time.

Clean lines, classic colorways and the reduced silhouette channel the aesthetics of classic indoor court sneakers from the 1990s. Vegetable-tanned leather, the flexible construction and the cushioned insole provide lasting comfort and make the Alder an easy everyday companion for years to come.

The rubber outsole and cushioning insert are made from upcycled leftovers from the sole industry, providing soft cushioning and a comfortable ride throughout the day.

Note: Fits true to size.
