Collection: Sneaker-ina: The Ballet-Flat Sneaker

Sneaker-ina is the meeting of two worlds: the delicacy of a ballerina and the comfort of a sneaker but more intimate, more refined, more personal.

What is a sneaker-ina

It's a shoe that takes its slim line and delicacy from the ballet flat, and its rubber sole and everyday practicality from the sneaker. The Ballet, Atelier, and Girona families interpret it in different ways, from the pristine cotton of the Ballet Cotton White to the cognac and blue shades of the Girona. The result is a more intimate and personal fit than any other line in the catalog.

When to choose it

The sneaker-ina works where a classic sneaker would be too sporty and a traditional ballet flat too formal. With a light dress, with tailored trousers, or with denim, it accompanies your day without demanding attention. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a more traditional sporty silhouette, start with the Iconicline.

What's a sneaker?

It's where two types of shoes meet. It takes its low, slender line from the ballet flat, and its rubber sole and comfort from the sneaker. Acanto Studio handcrafts it in Italy in the Ballet, Atelier, and Girona families.


Are sneakers appropriate for the office?

Yes, it is designed precisely for contexts where a balance between elegance and practicality is needed. Its clean lines make it suitable for formal looks, as long as the dress code does not require a classic shoe.
