Russell 8555

The leather upper has a subtle texture that makes these sneakers feel more premium than I expected. They’re comfortable right out of the box, and the grey pairs well with nearly everything I own.

The anthracite grey leather looks even better in person than online, with a subtle grain that catches the light nicely. These sneakers are incredibly comfortable right out of the box, no breaking-in period needed at all.

The stitching around the toe cap is incredibly clean, which makes the whole shoe feel more expensive than it is. They've only been on my feet for a week, but the leather is already starting to mold nicely to my stride.
