Sidney Boot - Chocolate

Sidney Boot is a stylish footwear product from the Swedish lifestyle brand Axel Arigato. The brand was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2014 by Max Svärdh and Albin Johansson. It quickly gained international recognition for its minimalist aesthetic and 'drop' business model, bridging the gap between luxury fashion and contemporary streetwear. Axel Arigato shoes, including the Sidney Boot, are primarily handcrafted in Portugal, a country renowned for its high-quality leather craftsmanship and artisanal footwear production.

In early 2024, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when the Eurazeo-backed investment firm sold its stake. The brand is now part of the Retviews/Prophecy portfolio, though it continues to operate with its distinct creative identity based in Stockholm. Axel Arigato remains a symbol of Scandinavian design, combining high-end materials with modern, sustainable manufacturing practices within the European Union.
