Put the pedal down in style with the Duke + Dexter Ritchie Sneaker

With seemingly every sneaker company under the sun designing their shoes for the 1% of the population who can run a 4-minute mile, Duke + Dexter’s comfort-first approach with their Ritchie Sneaker is a breath of fresh air.

Here at Classic Driver, we like to reserve high speeds for when we’re behind the wheel, not on foot, so when we heard Duke + Dexter’s Ritchie Sneakers encouraged you to take things slow, we knew they would be a perfect fit for the Classic Driver Shop. Proudly designed for the stroll, not the sprint, the Ritchie Sneakers are the ideal companion to help you take things slow this summer. With their custom-designed sole engineered for supreme comfort, zero stitch internal heel, and a breathable tech mesh upper, this is as close as you’ll get to walking on a cloud without exiting your next flight to the Balearics above a cumulonimbus. 

However, Duke + Dexter’s relaxed attitude certainly doesn’t carry over to the construction of their shoes. Handmade in England using Italian suede for the exterior and Italian leather lining, Duke + Dexter have managed to eliminate 94% of all wastage by producing extremely limited runs and recycling components wherever possible. 

If the two-tone look isn’t for you, or if you prefer you like your sneakers with a little extra leather, then you’ll be pleased to know that there’s a Ritchie Sneaker colour way for any occasion, ranging from full white leather, to all-black suede. Whichever you choose, you can leave the house knowing that your fresh kicks aren’t needlessly kicking animals out of their natural habitat. Take a look below at the full Duke + Dexter Ritchie Sneaker collection, so that on your next holiday your feet get as much of break as you do.
