Life moves fast. One minute you are at the office, the next you are in the clubhouse for drinks, and then a youth sports game. Packing multiple shoes for a day on the move is not only impractical, it is overwhelming.
Enter Peter Millar’s new Odeon sneaker that is designed to be the go-to shoe for a life on the go. This refined, no-fuss knit sneaker hits the sweet spot of ease, comfort, and style. It’s sophisticated enough for date night, comfortable enough for a long flight to your next golf destination, and versatile enough to pair with just about anything in your closet.
While the Odeon’s sleek silhouette will grab your attention, the feel of the unlined knit upper will keep it on repeat in your off-course shoe rotation. Constructed from a blend of cotton, wool, and performance fibers, the upper delivers a soft, sock-like feel that adapts and moves with the foot. A knock on shoes with knit uppers in the past has been that they quickly lose their shape and support after the break-in period. The Odeon’s upper, though, flexes and stretches in all the right places without feeling flimsy, which means you don’t have to choose between structure and comfort.
The blend of natural and performance materials also help the Odeon transition to different seasons and environments without missing a beat. The cotton-wool blend isn’t just comfortable. The temperature regulation properties actually work to keep your feet cool in the heat of summer and warm as the temperatures start to dip. Whether you are slipping on the Odeon after walking 18 or cruising the streets, this shoe will help to prevent your feet from overheating. We’ve seen this type of thermoregulation in outerwear pieces for the course, but now Peter Millar has brought the technology to footwear. The result is dry, happy feet.
The thoughtful design elements extend beyond the upper, too. The rounded toe box is roomy while remaining sleek, and the instep is crafted to accommodate a wide variety of foot shapes. In other words, it doesn’t pinch, squeeze, or create unnecessary pressure points. The padded heel and cushioned midsole complement the knit upper by creating an all-around hug-like fit that is ready to go straight out of the box. No break-in time, no blisters, and no bandages.
Feeding into the Odeon’s easy vibe is the slip-on construction. Whether you are bolting out of the house for your tee time or breezing into brunch, just step in and go. While many slip-on shoes lack sophistication, Peter Millar has added flexible faux laces to the top of the Odeon to maintain a refined look. You’ll be the only one who knows you are wearing slip-on kicks as you cruise throughout your day.
From a style standpoint, the Odeon brings a modern, minimalist look. It is sporty but not athletic, casual but not sloppy, and polished without trying too hard. Easily pair the Odeon with technical golf pants, laid-back cotton chinos, or everyday shorts. Slip it on for clubhouse hangs, early morning coffee runs, travel days and everything in between. One shoe that does all of this is an absolute flex.
The Odeon is now available in multiple colorways on PeterMillar.com.
