The minimalistic shoe trend has become widely popular over the past few years. And, for a while, brands like Common Projects and Adidas have led the charge with this classic, streamlined style.
While most brands tend to produce one color option (white) for this aesthetic, Italian brand Koio sets itself apart. Not only does it offer an assortment of colors and styles, but the brand also crafts its shoes from genuine Italian leather.
Shoe enthusiasts can attest to the difficulty in finding minimal shoes that come in a variety of color variations. Now, thanks to Koio, the search has gotten a lot easier.

Carefully crafted in Italy, the brand explains that Koio sneakers are made with “the finest materials.”
Expounding on the company’s mission, Koio added on its website that it “mirrors the vision of versatile style, impeccable quality, and kick-ass design.”
Also, as neatly demonstrated in the brand’s impressive shoe-crafting clip, they take “no shortcuts” during the creative process and use the “highest quality leather” for each product, allowing the shoes to last longer than those produced by other brands.

So, how do Koio’s shoes stack up against the best on the market? Based on the thoughts of several acclaimed publications and sneaker reviewers, they are top-tier. In fact, Fast Company gushed that Koio produces “Chanel-quality kicks at shoestring prices.”
Fashion Week Daily also dubbed that Koio could possibly be “the new Common Projects.” And with Koio shoes retailing for at least half the price of Common Projects’ standard releases, this stands as a pretty major deal.

In addition to Koio’s respect in the fashion space, the brand is also highly revered in Hollywood, with several A-list celebrities rocking some of its best-selling styles.
As outlined in the brand’s Koio Looks page, the likes of Seth Rogen, Hayley Kiyoko, Ryan Seacrest and more have worn these shoes while on set or out and about.
Jessica Alba was also seen rocking one of the brand’s most popular women’s styles, the Platform Bianco.
