The Vachetta leather craze has taken over the sneaker world, which is great because it’s a beautiful material. But then it’s not great because it’s also super expensive. So to find a pair of Italian-made sneakers with a full-grain, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather upper for under $300 – it almost seems too good to be true. But Polyforma is offering just that with their 82 Sneakers. Individually handmade (and hand-numbered), the sneakers will literally tan with wear, which almost makes it like getting a new pair every couple of months as the color gets darker and darker. And if you’re not into the tanned leather look? They come in black too.
