Conversations & Quintessential Products, also known as CQP, are the latest independent to try their hand at developing the ever-popular minimalist sneaker. "Born from a passion for great design and a desire to create outstanding products of the highest quality," the Stockholm-based label keeps its line short and sweet with just two models currently on offer. Its debut style, the "Tarmac" adds an extra inch above the ankle, a mid-top with arch support in white, black and grey leather with the option of a contrast or matching sole; an excellent compromise for those who refuse to commit to either high or low.
The "Atrium" on the other hand takes on a traditional low racquet-sport silhouette mixing leather, suede and nylon mesh in a navy and white colorway. Handmade in Portugal, each pair comes with a calf leather lining, a metal shank for stability, two sets of waxed laces, a removable insole and a custom tote bag. Find the range online at CQP and in-store and online at Trunk London.
