AXEL ARIGATO UNVEILS DAZE
RUNNER – A NEW PREMIUM
AND MINIMAL EVERYDAY SNEAKER
Axel Arigato introduces the unisex Daze Runner, the latest evolution in its expanding line of minimal, low-profile sneakers. This marks the third silhouette in the series, following the success of the Slow Runner and Tact Runner earlier this year.

The Daze Runner stands out for its understated design and premium materiality, embodying the brand's refined, Scandinavian aesthetic. The sneaker features a luxuriously soft 100% Italian suede upper, hugging the foot with its low profile and softly squared toe. The asymmetric facing overlay lends a subtle twist-distorting the brand's cleaner silhouettes with wavy seams and curved toes, offering an unexpected blend of surrealism and simplicity.
Rooted in Axel Arigato's Dice category, the Daze Runner offers a pared-back reinterpretation of the classic low-profile sneaker, simplified into a clean four-piece construction. The sneaker rests on a knit-inspired rubber outsole, rendered in a unique interlocking pattern that echoes the brand's Autumn/Winter 2025 focus on textile experimentation.
Inside, the sneaker features a bamboo-cotton terry blend lining and a 100% Italian leather sock, delivering elevated comfort and wearability. The Daze Runner is expertly crafted and finalised by hand in Portugal.
Launching in three versatile colourways - black, greige, and dark grey - the Daze Runner balances comfort and style. It is finished with minimal branding, including a debossed and distorted Axel Arigato print on the tongue, creating a clean look from every angle.
"The Daze Runner reflects our continued commitment to minimalism and innovation. We wanted to create something familiar yet forward – an everyday shoe that feels effortless and considered. The subtle details, the premium textures and fabrics, the clean construction – it's all about elevating simplicity to create a wearable, everyday sneaker."
– Jens Werner, Creative Director, Axel Arigato
