It’s an understood reality that leather sneakers offer an unparalleled versatility, but most options are either wildly expensive (we’re looking at you, Common Projects) or hideous monstrosities that don’t deserve a place in your footwear rotation. It’s for exactly this reason that Koio’s lineup of premium sneakers is one of our favorites.

Crafted in Italy under a watchful eye, Koio’s sneakers are made from locally sourced leathers that wear beautifully and will surely earn the boss’s respect. They’re sleek and minimalist, and they come in a variety of neutral shades — perfect for dressing down your work wardrobe and for a post-work happy hour at the bar down the street. And while they’re a step up from your everyday Cole Haan joints, they won’t run you $400.

Here’s the best part: the Italian label is currently offering sitewide discounts of up to 70% off on a variety of styles. From the streamlined Capri to the handsome leather Levanto loafer, you can snag a variety of styles in virtually every color imaginable. We’ve rounded up some of Koio’s best-selling styles to get you started, but you can check out the entirety of the sale here. Below, the best sneaker deals from the current Koio sale.
