Shade Studios

Who we are?

We are passionate sneaker fans who want to share our enthusiasm for limited shoes with you. We have been deeply rooted in sneaker culture for over 7 years and have made it our mission to track down the most sought-after sneakers from Europe, Asia and the USA for you.

Our goal is simple: we want to offer everyone the opportunity to get exclusive and authentic sneakers. We attach great importance to offering you a shopping experience that is uncomplicated, personal and pleasant.

Are our sneakers original?

Each of our sneakers goes through a thorough, multi-stage testing process. Details such as workmanship, stitching, material, labels, color, packaging, shape, smell and much more are carefully checked. Only after they have received our Shade Studios authenticity seal do they make it into our range. This means we can say with absolute certainty that all items on offer are authentic and original.

All sneakers offered are new and unworn.
