In White, Green, and Gum Sole, the Divino takes on a sporty, vintage-leaning character — the clean white upper set off by green accents and a warm gum outsole that nods to classic court shoes of the 1970s. It's the most expressive colourway in the range, and the one that catches the light differently depending on the angle.
The Divino represents our first expansion of the ULTRALight series — conceived to be visually, unmistakably Archibald. Taking cues from enduring silhouettes like the Nike Cortez and Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico 66, this pair is our elevated interpretation of that classic form. Every insight from the ULTRAlights and GATs has been brought to bear here. The construction and purpose are shared, but the Divino is a touch less minimal, a touch more "Archi" — the side overlay reimagined as a subtle expression of our "A" motif, adding refined visual identity without overpowering the design.
This version is made from premium Italian nappa calfskin — smooth in hand, durable, and built to age gracefully. Vegetable re-tanned to preserve colour and structure, it is finished with a French-made Lactae Hevea sole. The result: a sneaker that balances lightness, flexibility, and comfort with a more polished, long-term character. Ships to Singapore.
