Swims Breeze Tennis Knit olive green

Swims made their way into the shoe lovers’ wardrobes a few years back with their celebrated galoshes. The galoshes, your loyal and ever so useful companion against precipitation, have finally been incarnated in the shape of a sneaker. Every single fibre of the sneaker, from the airy construction and flexibility to the light weight and tennis knit, gives the shoe the necessary traits to stay in good shape despite the nastiest of weathers.

It may be reminiscent of the classical tennis models, but this version allows itself to be machine washed after having been beat up, thus maximizing utility while at the same time being an exceptional alternative to ether a dress shoe or a conventional leather sneaker. We offer three different colour variations, and this specific model comes in a mellow olive tone which pair exceptionally well with earthy tones such as beige, rust and green.

Swims sneakers are normal in fit, comparable in size to most other sneaker brands. More info on sizing in the tab below.

The cemented construction is the most basic construction method for shoes. Here the upper together with midsole / lasting board (as is the case for all our Skolyx shoes made with this construction, where a proper real leather midsole is used) or in simpler cases a fabric sole base is attached to the outsole with only adhesives, no stitching.

Nowadays the cement used is strong and can often last long, but resoling the shoes is usually trickier. Often a cobbler only attach a new wear piece on top of the original outsole, to make the shoes last longer.
