The new Autry men’s sneakers have arrived, so let’s pay a sincere ode to the city of New York and to all the great metropolises where hordes of people fight every day to be happy. We start from here to take a closer look at the sneakers of the Staple x Autry capsule, the new drop born from the collaboration between two brands we love. A mix of street culture and design, music, sport, and art has naturally come together by the hand of Jeff Staple, an eclectic creative based in the Big Apple, founder in 1997 of the eponymous brand with the pigeon logo, alongside Autry, an American sneaker brand with an old but gold style, now brought back into the limelight by skilled Italian hands. The result? A true demonstration of pride, passion, and vision. The Staple x Autry men’s and women’s sneakers have noteworthy details and pairings, just as the clothing section is part of the capsule and completes the sporty look destined to become the new uniform of contemporary urban style this coming autumn.
For sneaker collectors, even the label of limited editions has its charm
If collecting sneakers is part of the unrelenting passion for the world of sneakers and related items, it is clear that this drop has all the right elements to rightfully enter the radar of us fans of high-quality uppers, even better if characterized by special and authoritative signatures like that of the American designer.
What are the Autry Medalist sneakers from the Staple x Autry capsule like
Seen up close, the Autry sneakers created with Jeff Staple are a true hymn to the art of collaboration
Before delving into the description of the Autry Medalist x Staple sneakers, it’s worth remembering that in the past, the creative Jeff Staple has extensively collaborated with the crazy world of sneakers, Nike and Puma to name a few of the most famous projects. Judging by his interventions, it is clear how recognizable that touch is because it instills in every product that typical energy of those who live and breathe the big cities with positive and dynamic connotations. And now, all eyes on her, the star of this collaboration: the Autry Medalist shoe in white corduroy, green suede, and orange leather. An autumn palette with an evident retro reference that today continues to be increasingly contemporary. The color names? Cannoli Cream, Desert Mist, and Dark Ivy.

As a tribute to vintage aesthetics, the shoes feature aged soles and weathered laces, evoking lived stories that taste of cutting wind, urban blocks, graffiti writings, and courts amid skyscrapers. Additionally, the symbols of both brands are seamlessly integrated: the outline of the Staple pigeon appears in relief on the nubuck while the Staple logo is laser-printed on the side sole along with Autry’s iconic arrow. Seeing them added to the wardrobe of the autumn season is like finding an old photograph where magnificent memories are immortalized. The velvet and suede combo blatantly recalls the heritage of the American seventies imported into the style of the more flamboyant eighties: we could not aspire to anything better to confirm the retro-vintage style typical of Autry.
Staple x Autry is also a clothing capsule
Even the Staple x Autry ready-to-wear is a tribute to the uniforms of yesteryears
Finally, to complete the capsule, there are the clothing items. Comfortable sporty looks composed of cotton sponge hoodies and shorts, short-sleeved white or dark green t-shirts complemented by cotton socks duly branded in the exact urban-preppy style of the ’80s. Just the way we like it. Available globally since October 6, 2023, on Autry and Staple websites, the Autry sneaker and ready-to-wear capsule in collaboration with Jeff Staple is also distributed in Italy by 10 Corso Como, Luisaviaroma, and Tessabit at a price ranging from €240 to €260. Before it’s too late and prices soar on reselling platforms, it’s best to seize the moment. Sneakerheads, be warned…
