TRETORN (Sweden) Skymra Marina Slip-Ons

A great twist on a classic, Tretorn's Skymra sneakers feature an oversized elastic strap that ensures a secure fit while showcasing a modern asymmetrical design and signature Tretorn look.
A simple sneaker for laid-back days or, if you’re the type who dislikes the hassle of shoe laces, just great when you need to get out the door on time in the morning!
P.S. Be prepared for compliments, if not plenty of "did-you-draw-the-lobster-yourself"s :-D
TRETORN
Founded in Sweden at the end of the 19th century, Tretorn’s association with life on and off court rapidly created something of a cult following surrounding the brand, a status which was firmly secured when Wimbledon winners took to the grass in Tretorn in the 1970s. Inspired by the high profile and success of the brand, Tretorn's canvas and leather Nylites were literally the only shoe in which to be seen wearing on North American campuses throughout the 1980s. Lean and understated, the Tretorn sneaker was as good as the first luxury sports shoe on the market. Tretorn’s expertise in rubber-made products demonstrates a consistent commitment to quality and brand over hype, offering a collection most appreciated by those with a practical sensibility and a lifestyle largely enjoyed outside.

TRETORN Klippor Leather

As a brand Tretorn (now acquired by Puma AG) was registered in Sweden in 1911. The first Tretorn rubber footwear products, however, had appeared two decades prior, in 1891, made by the original factory known as Helsingborgs Gummifabrik. The name Tretorn is Swedish for “Three Towers”, a reference to the distinctive spires of that factory. Tretorn tennis balls have also been bouncing around the world's courts since1902. Today Tretorn reportedly carries a Royal Warrant, appointed by the King of Sweden. (Just in case you didn’t know all that.)
Combining a clean & simple aesthetic often associated with Tretorn, "Klippor" is a great wardrobe staple for adventures in the city & beyond. Some subtle metallic hardware aside, the rest of the sneaker is kept tonal (thanks to the construction using smooth & tumbled leather) & minimal, which worked out really nice.
Yeah, we wholeheartedly admit that we’re Swedophiles…
P.S. How amazing are these vintage (1930 ~ 1970) Tretorn ads?
