Clessio x Blauer Project 02
I received my Clessio and Blauer Project n.02 shoes, and I have to admit I did not expect this level of quality or to love them this much! The pictures really don't convey how these shoes look and feel in person. I was a little nervous about buying a pair of shoes I had never seen or touched, but if they were different from what I expected, they were different only in the best possible way.
I have to admit, I'm not a white-shoe person. I've actually never owned a pair of white sneakers, so I was a little skeptical. But I really wanted to own a pair created by such a talented young Italian artist. I was told, "Don't worry, they're not really white." Well... they are definitely white 😂, but they are so unique that somehow it doesn't matter.
The quality of the leather is incredible. I honestly don't think I've ever owned a pair of sneakers with leather this soft, it feels almost like wearing a suede glove. They have the chunky silhouette I love in sneakers, yet they're surprisingly light.
I live in New York City, and if you've ever been here, you know how much we walk. We don't drive, we walk everywhere: to the subway, to the bus, to work, and pretty much everywhere else. So comfortable shoes are essential. The Project 02 were comfortable from day one, with absolutely no break-in time.
Usually, I choose my outfit first and then decide which shoes go with it. Now I find myself wanting to wear my Clessio shoes first and choosing an outfit that works with them. I think that says everything. 😊
I just hope they're as durable as they are beautiful and comfortable, because I'm already wearing them a lot!
Buying them was also very easy after putting my name on the waiting list. If Clessio keeps making shoes of this quality, I'm afraid that very soon I won't be able to afford them anymore! 😂 But for now, I genuinely feel this is some of the best money I've ever spent on a pair of sneakers.
A huge thank you to everyone who made the whole experience, from the waiting list to finally having these beauties on my feet, so easy and seamless.
I couldn't be happier with them! ❤️
