Three new leather sneaker models for men have been added to the Achilles Sorbo lineup, marking the brand's first men's collection since autumn/winter 2020. The shoes will be available from late April 2026 through the Achilles web shop and internationally.
Designed to balance the elegance of dress shoes with the comfort of sneakers, these models aim to deliver "an adult's pair of shoes you can properly walk in." They suit a range of occasions from commuting and business errands to weekend outings and family time. Their development was driven by growing demand for men's shoes in overseas markets, alongside strong sales at the Achilles web shop.
Each model features Sorbothane in the heel — a shock-absorbing and pressure-distributing material — to reduce strain on the heel. Combined with an anatomical design based on Japanese foot shapes and soft leather, the shoes offer a snug fit and sustained comfort over long periods.
