JAK’s sneakers are the polar opposite in their approach to design compared to large corporate brands, eschewing excessive detail in favor of a neat and minimalist aesthetic free from tacky branding elements. Typically employing single colors while retaining a build approach that blends high-end Italian and Portuguese leather with precise stitching, they’re aimed squarely at fashion-conscious consumers rather than for practical sporting activities. Its latest release, the JAK ATLAS LOW II Sneaker, takes the previously iconic and best-selling Atlas Low for an updated take on its classic design.
Available in a bright tan-white color and with a grippy, all-natural rubber sole made in Portugal, it’s a welcome upgrade built around a renovated last and fitting for extra comfort.
Reflecting the brand’s dedication to simplicity and refinement, the JAK ATLAS LOW II Sneaker has been designed with an eye on sustainability and the use of environmentally friendly materials throughout its construction. The full-grain calf leather upper blends into the soft calf leather lining and midsoles, offset by natural GOTS organic cotton faces.
The rubber soles have been cemented and stitched for extra robustness and durability, while the removable shockproof inner soles allow for easier maintenance of the JAK ATLAS LOW II Sneaker. There are also extra slim inner soles available for a looser fit and casual wear on the beach. Also included with the JAK ATLAS LOW II sneakers are extra laces featuring colored tips and a handy cotton transport bag to keep them protected on the move.
