Autry, the Sneaker with the American Flag that Revolutionized Sneakers

For almost fifty years, Autry has been shaping the sneaker world worldwide with its unique and unmatched design. True to its original concept, this brand continues to make history in sports fashion with its vintage-inspired models and avant-garde craftsmanship. The brand's name and logo literally and symbolically represent America, the brand's homeland, but it is thanks to the entirely Italian craftsmanship - introduced by the skilled hands that now safeguard the brand's know-how - that these famous shoes are now presented to the world as more exclusive than ever.

In this new collection, roots and innovation blend harmoniously in historical models characterized by brand-new trends and extraordinary nuances. The concept of retro style is flipped on its head, and the '80s become very current and ready to enter the days of all lovers of the most innovative fashion.

Autry Spring/Summer 2024: Iconicity and Style

If the sneakers of this historic brand continue to win the hearts of sporty style enthusiasts and, above all, professional athletes, it's because of the excellent performance they provide even in the most demanding gaming sessions. This means one thing and one thing only: these shoes are made with the best possible materials by those who know sports inside out.

Furthermore, Autry caters to both a female and male audience, providing each category with a style that adapts to any personal taste: beyond the classic models and elements in soft colors, we find models with cute details or brilliant nuances to meet the needs of those who don't want to give up a touch of glamour even during sports activities.

As always, Autry offers its admirers a rich selection of excellently crafted sneakers, and in this new collection, it has a very specific goal: to revive its historical models in a contemporary setting to give those who choose to wear them the sensation of the solidity of the past combined with the coolness of the future.

Autry Medalist, the Classic for Him and Her

The most famous model crafted by the fashion house is the Medalist, sneakers first designed in 1985 for tennis players who immediately loved and chose them as allies in their sporting activities.
Over time, the Medalist have extended beyond the confines of the playing field alone and, in addition to sports professionals, accompanies streetwear enthusiasts in its most refined form. Characterized by a clean and elegant line, much like the refined discipline they're inspired by, these leather shoes are absolutely essential, and it's their minimalism that enhances every embellishment meticulously crafted for a flawless result.
If Autry's American origins are the backbone, it's the ability to intercept and interpret new trends that's the secret to the success of these iconic shoes. It's the numerous reinterpretations of the classic model that make this shoe a precious element in the choice of urban outfits that now dominate both sports environments and city streets. In addition to a vast range of colors and combinations, among the new proposals, we find some absolutely revolutionary sneakers that stand out with details as minimal as they are ingenious.
Emblematic examples of this creativity are the classic model in goat leather and t canvas upper, the Medalist with a branded sole embellished with writing that seems to be traced with a black permanent marker, epitomizing street style. Another winning idea, born from the new Italian management, was to introduce the super vintage version of the Medalist: sneakers with finely handcrafted finishes and innovative treatments that recreate the worn effect. Each shoe is unique and exclusive because it's individually crafted by master Italian artisans.

Autry, from Dallas to designer sneakers for Spring 2024

Autry, of course, doesn't stop there and reintroduces some of its iconic models like the Dallas with their authentic and unmistakable design, and the designer sneakers Bob Lutz, versatile yet refined in appearance.

A completely new addition is the CLC model, contemporary shoes inspired by the vibes of American basketball courts, an atmosphere that is reflected not only in the design of the very thick sole composed of different rubber sections and the voluminous structure, but also in the color combinations reminiscent of the world of hip-hop style closely connected to that of street basketball players.

Autry, from Texas to Italy

A brilliant insight from Jim Autry sparked a wonderful story that began in 1982 and is still being written by the brand today with new hands and different pens, but with the exact same spirit as the founder. Jim founded a company in Dallas that produced the first sports shoes exclusively dedicated to specific sports: tennis, running, and basketball. Autry was the pioneer of a concept that seems obvious to us today, yet it's only thanks to his ingenuity that shoes dedicated to tennis players, runners, and so on exist today.
The quality and intelligence with which Autry brand models were crafted quickly established the company as a leader in the sportswear sector. Thanks to the collaboration with the award-winning tennis player Bob Lutz, this role was soon solidified. Since then, the American fashion house has never lost its prestige, and in 2019, its pioneering spirit captured the interest of three Italian entrepreneurs - Marco Doro, Alberto Raengo, and Gino Zarrelli - who decided to acquire the brand to renew and relaunch it on the market, targeting the new generations.
The vintage taste, combined with craftsmanship using the latest technologies, immediately gained success, which continued with the arrival of Mauro Grange and Patrizio Di Marco, current CEO and president of Autry, respectively. This was also made possible thanks to the support renewed by Bob Lutz to the brand, an essential consecration for this company that speaks to those who live passionately in the world of sports and the universe it represents.
