You know we're obsessed with denim here at Gustin, so finding a way to work it into our footwear category was an absolute must for us. We wanted a substantial denim that would last, while still being supple enough to keep the shoe comfortable. Nothing fit the bill better than The Super Heavy.
The most amazing thing about this 18 ounce selvedge is that it's super soft even when raw so it creates a very comfortable sneaker. The shade of blue is slightly lighter than the core dark indigo fabrics and it has a more open weave that brightens the overall look and gives the surface a well defined twill line. We incorporate the red selvedge into the heel strip on both left and right shoes for a special touch. This sneaker is lined with tan leather to provide additional support and a beautiful contrast of texture and color. Make no mistake, this is a robust sneaker! To make sure the denim will not fray over time, leather reinforcement is sewn along the ankle collar and eyerow. Tonal black stitching gives the upper a stealthy look, while the cream colored Margom sole complements the dark denim. This is a one of a kind high top with all the details dialed in just right.
The Gustin high top pays homage to the now classic sneakers we grew up wearing. Take one look at the shape of our high top and you know it captures everything perfectly — from the extremely low profile toe box, to the ultra clean stitch lines, to the absence of any extraneous materials. Beauty is in the small details such as the way the top of the ankle gently swoops up at the back, the tight arc of the stitching on the heel counter, the perfect diameter of the eyelets. Our styling truly captures what we loved about our old sneakers, now done the right way.
Our sneakers are constructed by hand in the Tuscany region of Italy by a group of craftsmen who have been making shoes since 1901. They have perfected their craft to the point where the industry's biggest and best names, including Lanvin, use them for production. Single needle stitching is used to construct the uppers. Black leather reinforcement is sewn along the ankle collar and eyerow to prevent the denim from fraying. Custom lasting creates the unique Gustin shape. An Italian-made Margom rubber sole is cemented internally and reinforced with 360° stitching to the upper. A leather-lined removable footbed is embossed with the Gustin logo. These are time honored techniques taken to the highest level.
Sneakers made in Italy to our quality level, that finally get the styling right and that use only the highest quality materials carry incredibly high price points. The Gustin model allows us to offer you a radically better value.
Gustin sneakers follow European sizing and run slightly larger than some US sizes. If you typically wear a US 9 in dress shoes or boots, we recommend ordering a US 9 in these as well. If you usually wear a half-size, we would recommend you order down to the nearest whole size. If you have tried on other Margom soled sneakers, you should order the same size.

What Customers Are Saying
"Your great quality product and customer service are reasons I've been a long time customer and will continue to do so."
-Sean S. | Verified Buyer
"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
