Swedish-based label Axel Arigato was launched in 2014 for the express reason of embracing the current moment. Playful beneath its utilitarian aesthetic, the brand focuses on creating pieces that are undeniably luxe at decidedly affordable price points. From their start in sneakers, they found meteoric rise in their consistent sneaker releases (as opposed to the popularized "drop culture") and maintain their place as a brand to look out for with their wide imagination and clever execution.
