The brogue-inspired perforations are even more striking in person, giving these sneakers a polished, dress-shoe feel that still works for daily wear. The sole has a surprising amount of grip on wet pavement, which I didn't expect from such a sleek design.

I was a bit skeptical about all those tiny holes in the design, but they actually make the sneakers super breathable and give them this cool, classic shoe vibe. Walked all day on cobblestone streets and my feet didn't feel tired at all.

These sneakers feel incredibly lightweight on foot, and the brogue-inspired perforations give them a tailored look that stands out from any other sport shoe I've worn. The leather is surprisingly soft right out of the box, no break-in period needed.
