I regret to say that the Axel Arigato Orbit White Sneaker is the worst pair of shoes I’ve ever purchased. Despite the brand’s claims of being a luxury product — handmade and crafted from 100% leather — my experience was far from premium. I paid around $450 including shipping and taxes, expecting high quality. Instead, after less than a month of light wear, the interior began ripping and turning grey, and the shoe developed a strong, unpleasant odor. It quickly became clear that the materials used are not genuine leather nor remotely durable. I own many sneakers and rotate them regularly, so these were not overused. Still, within a few months, they became completely unwearable. The aesthetic is appealing, and I initially admired their design and branding, but unfortunately, the product is all marketing and no substance. As someone who genuinely wanted to support the brand, this has been a very disappointing experience. I strongly caution others to look beyond the design and consider the long-term quality before making a purchase.
