The Axel Arigato Genesis Trainers blur the line between tradition and modernity, drilling the label’s Scandinavian tastes into a razor-sharp, retro silhouette. Inspired by runners of a time gone by, the street-approved design is more beefed up than your standard Axel Arigato sneaker, riding on a chunky outsole that propels the foot a monumental 3.2cm off the ground. High-functioning and supremely cool, let us tell you why these bulbous shoes should be the next pair to enter your collection.

How Are The Axel Arigato Genesis Trainers Made?

Handcrafted in Portugal and emitting outstanding quality, the Genesis trainer is crafted from a mix of materials in a palette of pure white. 75% of the shoe sees smooth Italian leather and suede intertwined with 25% mesh which is draped at the vamp and flanked to both sides, offering subtle textural contrast across the upper. Internally, a leather lining provides a supple surface for the foot to slot onto. 

Are The Axel Arigato Genesis Trainers Comfortable?

Equal parts style, equal parts substance, the Axel Arigato Genesis sneakers uncover the perfect balance between form and function. In particular, a removable cushioned footbed energises your every step from underfoot. Easily slotted in and out of the design, the cushioning acts as a barrier that absorbs shock directly from the ground, protecting your feet from any undesirable tension.

As well as a removable cushioned footbed, a sturdy 3.2cm outsole elevates the foot, providing the wearer with not only a stable foundation for pursuing daily activities but also that extra dose of height. The outsole is weightless both in and out of motion and comes composed of robust rubber. 

How Do The Axel Arigato Genesis Trainers Fit?

Based on a combination of customer feedback and Axel Arigato’s own guidance, we recommend that you take your usual size in these shoes. On the whole, the brand’s trainers, ranging from the ubiquitous Clean 90 to the lesser-known – but equally on-trend – platform sneaker, all boast a regular fit and the Genesis is definitely no exception.
