Artifact by Superga pays homage to 100 years of expertise in making shoes.

Being the brand’s pinnacle product line, it has been designed with classic piece-of-art attention to detail, for the man of today who is keen on basic, utilitarian-style and refined garments.

The collection is exclusively developed by the brand’s design centre in collaboration with Japanese designer, Teppei Sugaya. Born in Japan and based in Europe, Teppei believes in the marriage of old and new; classic European design and innovative Japanese materials.

The new season features a herringbone canvas. This material was usually employed to manufacture workwear jackets in the USA. To add a subtle niche reference, the off white colour variants are matched with a blue and a brownish sole: these pairings refer to the classic cotton and rubber work gloves.

The shoe outsole is made of one piece of rubber. Called a cup sole as the sole unit “cups” the upper. This sole is revived from the ‘70s archives of Superga.
