Hydrogen-1 just started their summer sale. The build quality on these is excellent, and easily just as nice as any of the more expensive brands on the market. If you sort through their designs, you can also find some that are minimalistic and simple enough to go with nearly any kind of casualwear. I particularly like those white low-tops you see above, which are also available in brown suede. Both are on sale right now for $200. Kind of a crazy price for sneakers, to be sure, but a step up in quality from the $95 sneakers by Kent Wang, and not nearly as expensive as the $400 Achilles from Common Projects.
Note these are final sale, but from my experience, Hydrogen-1’s shoes run true-to-size (meaning your Brannock size).
