COLLEVE is a niche label of high-end minimalist sneakers. The sneakers collection is made in Italy as COLLEVE's aesthetics are translated into a high-end shoe by contemporary art inspirations. At its core, COLLEVE is an artisanal lifestyle label where the contemporary and conceptual meets traditional Italian craftsmanship. For us, clean and pure designs are about more than just aesthetics: they are a way of life. Each of our sneakers is its own work of contemporary art to be collected and valued.

SENSO represents the lattice of human feeling and emotion; GILDA channels charm as innocence, playfulness, and quirk; and NOTTE conveys soft elegance and polished beauty; and ALMA Connotes pleasure and soul. COLLEVE is made in Italy by traditional artisans using the finest luxury materials.
