Move over Gucci, there’s a new status shoe in town, and it’s being lauded as the most worn shoe on private jets. The Zegna Triple Stitch shoes, which retail for $1,100, are making a lasting impression in the world of the wealthy, as they’ve been spotted on celebrities in Tinseltown. The laceless footwear gives off a casual vibe, with varieties made of soft leather or suede. The brand sells the sneakers in basic black, white, tan, blue and brown. Perhaps the most intriguing thing about these shoes is the fact that they have no label, which is seen as a sign of “quiet luxury.” In other words, no one knows they’re expensive unless they’re “in the know.” Those who have worn the shoe describe them as being so comfortable it feels like wearing slippers, with one person branding them as “Crocs with a trust fund.” They’ve even been compared to Mark Zuckerberg’s $1,000 t-shirts. Others, however, have said they’re just an over-priced pair of sneakers.
