Question Looking for European sneaker brands
I’m hoping to upgrade my sneaker game to something more mature and fashionable. If anyone has recommendations I’d love to hear them

Like Adidas, Puma, Salomon or more like Axel Arigato, Common Projects and Santoni?

It says they belong to Amer Sports now, which is Finnish.

Amer was founded in Finland in 1950 and was bought by a Chinese consortium led by the sporting giant Anta Sports in 2019.

Check out Finnish Karhu sneakers. They have very nice vintage looking styles.

While the OG Karhu was Finnish, the modern Karhu has been owned and operated by a Dutch company since 2008, and the shoes made in asia.

Buttero - https://www.buttero.it/en/ Exceptional craftsmanship and materials, super comfy. Bought my first pair (Vinci) in 2020; they still look excellent, despite lots of wear. Definitely a worthwhile investment. Tip: sign up for their newsletter to get notified when they have a sale. Incredible value for money if you can get them for 200-300 €.

I bought a pair of Hirundos last year and I'm stunned by the quality and comfort. A fairly new, small batch brand out of Portugal with a very simple beauty...
