Lifelong sneakerhead Nick Sisombath risked it all in 2015 to launch COLLEGIUM, a footwear label that encapsulated everything he idolized about sneaker culture. The Los Angeles–based company has since built a tight catalog of timeless footwear, taking inspiration from beloved silhouettes to develop its own upscale iterations. Each pair of COLLEGIUM shoes is made by hand in Italy using the finest materials, such as soft and durable calfskin, waxed laces, a removable cushioned footbed, and a high-quality Margom rubber sole. With passion-driven dedication, COLLEGIUM delivers contemporary classics that command attention from those in the know.
