Creative Recreation Ponti
The Ponti is similar to a Chuck Taylor/Chukka but mixed with some GQ features like the elastic band and monogrammed leathers. As simple as the black upper on black midsole is, it separates the Ponti from more casual sneakers, but gives you the feel of an athletic shoe.
Creative Recreation Coletti
The Coletti is similar to the Euro cut of some of the more recent Pumas, but without the Guido Fist Pump steelo. The upper is more like a dress shoe with the shiny leather and leather inner lining, but on top of an athletic outsole featuring an airbag.
Creative Recreation Kaplan
The Kaplan is your basic low-cut casual shoe, but the high-quality perforated leather uppers and brass eyelets really give it a more mature feel. This probably won’t get you into black-tie events, but definitely legit for most clubs and even office functions.
