The Portofino in Sandstone is Koio’s elevated take on the classic plimsoll—a summer-forward sneaker designed for breathable, everyday ease. Handcrafted in Italy from premium full-grain calf leather in a soft beige hue, it features a light and flexible construction that’s lined only around the ankle for increased airflow and comfort. The durable rubber sole is Strobel-constructed to ensure optimum flexibility and cushioning with every step. Pair it with cuffed olive chinos and a white camp-collar shirt, tailored navy shorts and a knit polo, or off-white jeans and a relaxed linen button-down.
