Features and styles
The collection includes the brands D.A.T.E., Puraai, Premiata, Lemargo, and Pro-Keds. D.A.T.E. was founded in 2005, Pro-Keds in 1949. Leather, color, and price range vary from one model to another: to navigate the selection, it helps to browse by family.
Court and light-colored sneakers
TheCourt 2.0 Vintageby D.A.T.E. comes in white with tan leather details. TheLevante, also by D.A.T.E., pairs white with taupe. Lemargo offers a deerskin leather sneaker in bone white, a warm white that creates a softer contrast with trousers. These are the starting models for an everyday light-colored sneaker, to wear with jeans, chinos, or wool trousers.
Deerskin leather
Lemargo sneakers are crafted in deerskin leather: ebony, bone, black, and a butter-colored version with a dark brown heel tab, the only contrast in the series. They sit at the highest price tier in the collection and feature the most understated colors. We selected Lemargo for this reason: a solid-colored leather sneaker works as well with our store's denim and workwear as it does with a wool jacket.
Solid colors: Premiata and Athleta
Among the Premiata models areMick e Mase25. The Mick comes in blue, grey, and black; the Mase25 in green, grey, and blue. TheAthleta Waxby D.A.T.E. comes in blue and grey. This is the selection for those looking for a bold color without opting for white: blue and grey pair seamlessly with indigo denim and grey trousers, while the green on the Mase25 offers a distinctive alternative.
What you will find in this collection

Three examples to guide your selection. TheMickby Premiata in black is the easiest option to match with a dark wardrobe.

TheButter-colored deerskin leather sneakers with dark brown heel tabby Lemargo is the only two-tone style in the deerskin range.
How to choose
Choose a sneaker starting from the trousers you wear most often, rather than looking at the shoe in isolation: this is the advice we give in our Formia store.
Men's white sneakers: tan, taupe, or bone
The white with tan leather details on the Court 2.0 Vintage matches brown belts, brown jackets, and indigo denim. The white-taupe of the Levante works best with greys, beiges, and military green. Lemargo's bone white is the softest of the three, creating no harsh contrast against ecru or light wool trousers. Those who mostly wear black and dark grey can look to the solid color selection.
Distinctive sneakers without excess
For a less conventional sneaker, the collection offers three paths, all based on color: the green on the Mase25 by Premiata, the butter and dark brown two-tone by Lemargo, and the white and tan of the Court 2.0 Vintage. These are refined details noticed up close while remaining effortless to pair with a chore jacket, cardigan, or wool jacket.
Price range
Lemargo and Premiata sit at the high end of the collection: a wardrobe investment, with Lemargo crafted in deerskin leather. D.A.T.E. occupies the mid-range. The collection nevertheless starts at an accessible tier. Updated prices for every model are displayed in the selection above.
FAQ
Which men's sneaker brands are included in the collection?
D.A.T.E., Puraai, Premiata, Lemargo, and Pro-Keds. D.A.T.E. and Puraai offer the widest range of models; Premiata and Lemargo cover the premium tier, while Pro-Keds completes the selection.
Can a sneaker be both comfortable and elegant?
Within limits, yes. A sneaker delivers the comfort of an everyday shoe; elegance is dictated by leather and color. A solid-colored leather sneaker, such as Lemargo models in black or ebony deerskin, pairs well with wool trousers or pressed chinos, under an unstructured jacket or knit blazer. With a dark suit and tie, a classic leather shoe remains the appropriate choice.
Can white sneakers be worn in winter?
Yes. Paired with dark denim, flannel, and heavyweight knitwear, a warm white works better than an optical white. Two examples in the collection: the bone shade of the Lemargo deerskin sneakers and the white-taupe of the Levante by D.A.T.E.
Which men's sneaker should you choose for everyday wear?
Choose a color that works across most of your wardrobe: blue or grey. The collection includes Premiata's Mick in blue and grey, and D.A.T.E.'s Athleta Wax in the same two shades. For those who wear black often, opt for the Mick in black.
