Axel Arigato Introduces Zane

There’s a quiet kind of confidence in a sneaker that just works—and that’s exactly what Axel Arigato’s new Zane delivers. Part of their SS26 Green Space collection, this unisex drop is all about effortless style and everyday ease. Think city-ready comfort, premium materials, and design that feels both familiar and fresh.

Handcrafted in Portugal, Zane mixes soft leather uppers with suede overlays, or in some colourways, full suede for a more tactile vibe. Details like the classic T-toe, off-set stitching, and decorative seams give a nod to the brand’s Clean 90 sneaker, but with a softer, more organic twist. Inside, a mix of leather, recycled polyester, and microfibre keeps things comfy and breathable from morning coffee runs to evening errands.

The outsole takes cues from knit textures, offering a subtle pattern and recycled rubber blend—low-key sustainability without making a fuss. Basically, it’s the kind of sneaker that doesn’t need to shout to stand out.

Creative Director Jens Werner sums it up perfectly:

“Zane was about creating something you instinctively reach for. A sneaker that feels simple and honest, but still considered in every detail. It’s quiet in its expression, yet confident—a style that settles naturally into your daily rhythm.”

Versatility is key. Colourways include easy classics like Off White/Gum and Black/Off White, warmer staples like Tan/Off White and Taupe/Dark Grey, plus soft seasonal pops like Lilac/Gum and Light Yellow/Gum—all ready to elevate your spring and summer wardrobe.

To celebrate the launch, Axel Arigato teamed up with Lime, the e-bike and scooter platform, for a city-ready activation. In London, you can test ride the vibe, while in cities like New York, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, and Copenhagen, the first 100 buyers will get a complimentary 30-minute Lime ride—because moving through the city never looked this good.

Zane drops March 25, 2026, online and in stores, priced at €235 / £220 / $330.
