A good sneaker can take a look from meh to amazing. And though I think all sneakers are amazing (I’m a sneaker stan, don’t you know?), there are certain brands that have been around for much longer and, thus, have a stellar reputation that simply can’t be beat. One such label? Superga.
Superga is an Italian brand founded in 1911 — and the simple fact that it’s Italian should already be reason enough for you to know that the quality is simply unmatched. Because after all, Italians do things better, sneakers included. But it’s not only the origin story that makes Supergas worthy of your attention — the names that have been spotted in the brand’s easygoing kicks is even more, well, special. Back in 1997, Princess Diana was seen wearing black Superga sneakers, and since then, other royals like Kate Middleton, as well as celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber, have slipped into the classic low-top style that’s inherently timeless.
Supergas certainly aren’t expensive either, which only adds to their appeal — but ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Sale, we spotted a few styles majorly marked down. In fact, we’d even go so far as to say that the coolest version of the royal-worn sneaker is the cheapest we’ve seen in a while. Coolest refers to the platform style that takes your looks to new heights, and cheapest means we found styles for as low as $35. No, that’s not a typo.

White the classic low-top, low sole style is certainly among the most famous, this upgraded version feels very 2023. Platform shoes have been trending for quite some time, and that’s because there’s just something about the chunky, thick sole that says, “I’m cool and I know it!” But don’t be fooled — this “upgraded” version still has many of the same, tried-and-true features that the OG version does.
The Superga Cotw Sneaker is currently $35 and designed with an all-over cotton upper that's comfortable and allows the feet to breathe, even on the hottest summer days. And while I love my leather sneakers just like the next person, there is something about canvas styles that just feels slightly more low-key and relaxed. The look is totally different from leather, too, and in my opinion, a well-rounded shoe collection includes both: leather and canvas. These particular sneakers also have a platform — a 1.5-inch rubber sole that’s slip-resistant.
Shoppers who’ve worn the pair IRL have crowned them the “best shoes ever,” while a few also noted that they’ve quickly become their go-to travel shoes. And as we all know, if a shoe is comfy enough to travel in, then, well, it’s a win in our book.
Shop a few more platform Superga sneakers while they’re on sale ahead of October Prime Day.
