School time is almost here and so is the anticipation of picking out your first-day look. If you even have the slightest hesitancy about what to step out in when hitting the halls or getting to campus, let StockX make the decision easier. Put together A Perfect Fit with the Axel Arigato Genesis Vintage Runner.
Despite only being around for eight years, Axel Arigato has grown in popularity both in the EU and internationally. The brand started out in 2014 with a sole focus on sneakers, utilizing some of the finest materials to craft sneakers in small, family-owned businesses across Europe. A key focus for founders Max Svärdh and Albin Johansson was making sure to do things differently from other brands they came across. “We couldn’t find a brand that we truly could identify with,” said Svärdh and Johansson in an interview with Opumo. “We wanted to create a brand for the next generation and at that time most of the competitors were still doing everything in the same way, so we did most of the things in the opposite way.”
It seems as though their strategy has worked, as Axel Arigato is one of the top brands in Europe with physical stores in six countries across the EU and UAE and is sold online in over 130 territories. Although they have an array of apparel products, their sneakers are what Axel Arigato is more known for, with styles ranging from more minimalistic looks to more retro styles like this Genesis Vintage Runner White Black. The silhouette of this Axel Arigato trainer is reminiscent of the Air Max 90 with its angular shape, while its basic white and black colorway pairs seamlessly with just about anything.
