Autry Medalist

The Autry Medalist is the model that defines the brand. The silhouette everyone recognises: the lateral star, the flat sole, the low collar, that American tennis shoe proportion from the eighties that never needed updating because it was already right. If you've seen a pair of Autrys on the street and thought "I want those", chances are you were looking at a Medalist.

It's a sneaker with real presence underfoot. The leather is thick, the sole has body, and when you put them on you feel you're wearing something properly built. For wider feet or anyone after a generous last, the Medalist is the natural choice: grounded, solid, with the feeling of a shoe that knows exactly where it stands. Not a sneaker that goes unnoticed — on the foot or in the room.

The materials are what earn that robustness: quality leather on the upper and lining, reinforced stitching, a low-profile midsole and vulcanised rubber outsole. The lateral star, embroidered or in relief depending on the colourway, is the detail that turns a classic shape into an instant signature. A sneaker that gains character with wear, that settles in, that gets better. Built to last several seasons, not just one. If you'd rather the lighter version of this code, try the Reelwind; and if your foot is particularly wide, the Hyperway offers the most generous fit in the Autry lineup.

At SUNE we are authorised Autry stockists in Barcelona. You'll find the women's Medalist at Passeig de Gràcia 118 and the men's at Passeig de Gràcia 115. If you'd like to try them on before deciding, we'd love to see you — some shoes are worth feeling in person before you make up your mind.
