The Dries Van Noten sneaker is the piece the house sells to people who own nothing else by it. A low suede and mesh trainer with a creased toe and a thin sole, “inspired by 70s marathon spirit” in the house’s own words, it has been in the collection for years and now comes as a suede sneaker in four shades, a leather sneaker, a heeled sneaker, a backless sneaker mule and a ballerina on the same sole. Coveti carries 18 pairs across 7 styles, $730 to $1,400, all made in Italy. This page lists every one, with the fit note the house gives and the sizing.

The suede sneaker

The Suede sneakers in Black are the original: suede and mesh, creased toe, in black, white, mauve and yellow at $730, and in the black-and-white two-tone from Spring Summer 2026. It is the house shoe to wear with the wide trousers and the jacquard coat, and it is unisex.

The variations

The Leather sneakers in Dark Brown put a nappa upper on the same last in dark brown, tan and beige. The Heeled suede sneakers in Tan lift it onto a low heel. The Suede sneaker mules in Black and White take the back off. The ballerina sneakers, in leather and in embroidered twill microsand cotton, the Embroidered ballerina sneakers in Bottle, are the house’s ballet flat on the sneaker’s soft thin sole.

Fit and care

True to size on EU 35 to 42; between sizes take the larger. Brush the suede, spray it before the first wear, keep it dry, and rest the pair a day between wears. The shoe size guide has the EU to UK and US table.
