Sneakers are more than just comfortable shoes. Depending on the model and design, they convey a very specific lifestyle and attitude. Every sneaker connoisseur knows that no two pairs are ever the same. From sporty high-top sneakers and chunky platform styles with futuristic designs, to classic terrace sneakers and technical running shoes: there’s a sneaker for every style and every occasion. At SANVT, we launched our first footwear collection with three timeless models that share the same standards of quality and craftsmanship, yet make entirely different fashion statements. 3 sneakers, 3 styles. Because a good sneaker shouldn’t just be comfortable, it should also match your personality. So what exactly sets our models apart?
Sneakers are not all equal. But what actually defines the differences in sneakers? It’s the sum of materials, construction and, above all, design. The design of a sneaker determines its appearance and, alongside quality and comfort, is arguably the most important factor in deciding whether a sneaker suits you, your style and your everyday needs. Below, we introduce our three sneaker models in detail and share styling advice, so you can find the perfect sneaker for you and know exactly how to wear it.
The Court Sneaker: The Classic All-Rounder
The Court Sneaker is our take on the ultimate all-rounder: pared-back, sporty and uncompromisingly focused on materials and craftsmanship. Made from Italian premium leather with a matte finish, it delivers a refined presence within the sneaker universe, combining athletic lines with a classic silhouette. The cupsole construction mechanically bonds the upper to the midsole, ensuring structural integrity, optimal flex zones and long-lasting grip. Inside, soft goat leather provides thermoregulation and a balanced foot climate. A luxury detail you notice the moment you put the sneaker on, but truly appreciate after a long day on your feet. In terms of style, the Court Sneaker is the chameleon in our collection. With its athleisure character, it works just as well in crisp white or black with urban business-casual outfits as it does with minimalist weekend looks. Whether paired with dark jeans and a white t-shirt, or black chinos and a grey longsleeve polo, this sneaker performs in almost any context. Its personality? Understated, but unmistakable.
The Terrace Sneaker: The Cultivated Traditionalist
The Terrace Sneaker places its emphasis on minimalism, elegance and material quality. Italian aniline leather takes centre stage here too: densely structured, with a velvety grain that develops a distinctive patina over time. This leather choice gives the sneaker a subtle depth and texture where other models feel flat. The fully goat-leather-lined interior optimises moisture management and ensures an ergonomic fit. The sole, produced in Portugal using genuine sidewall stitchdown construction and partially made from recycled high-performance rubber, delivers grip and shock absorption. Compared to the Court, the Terrace Sneaker feels more organic and cultivated, whether in off-white or black with a brown sole. It pairs effortlessly with relaxed yet refined outfits: linen trousers and a flannel shirt worn open at the collar, or relaxed ivory chinos with a beige merino jumper. Its personality is purist and sophisticated. For those who prefer depth, not display.
The Heritage Runner: The Performance Everyday Hero
The Heritage Runner sits in a very different category. It is technical, lightweight and functional. Instead of full-grain leather, the focus here is on performance polyester mesh that dries quickly, allows air circulation and maintains its shape over time. The EVA midsole combined with a high-performance rubber outsole delivers targeted cushioning, flexibility and stability. Designed for long days, fast-paced routines and active everyday performance. Thanks to weight optimisation through lightweight materials, it feels noticeably more agile on the foot. While Court and Terrace are classic and urban, the Heritage Runner is where sportiness meets comfort. Its personality is defined by functionality and performance. Luxury here isn’t about appearance, but efficiency. Style it with technical looks: combine the black runners with black sweatpants and a black sweatshirt, or the grey runners with heavy black chinos and a heavy grey merino jumper for a more grown-up, relaxed feel.
3 Sneakers, 3 Styles: The Verdict
As you can see, our models differ clearly in style and function, even though all three are timeless in design. The Court Sneaker stands for everyday sporty elegance, the Terrace Sneaker for cultivated tradition, and the Heritage Runner for technical efficiency. All three are built around maximum comfort, premium quality and durability. With our first footwear collection, we at SANVT want to prove that sneakers are not a uniform category of comfy shoes, but style statements. So which type are you, and which of our three sneakers suits your personality best?
