Description
A rock-and-roll reimagining of the classic court silhouette, sculpted in bone-white leather with AMIRI’s signature skeletal framework.
The AMIRI Skel Top is a high-top sneaker that channels the brand’s California-meets-grunge aesthetic into a refined street-luxury silhouette. Crafted from smooth ivory leather, the upper is distinguished by AMIRI’s now-iconic “Skel” construction — a series of open, bone-like cutouts that wrap around the midfoot and heel, revealing tonal leather beneath and creating the effect of a hand-sketched skeleton. A padded collar and tongue deliver a comfortable, sock-like fit around the ankle, while the elongated lacing system allows for a personalized, sculpted wrap.
Every detail is considered: the signature AMIRI logo is debossed on the side and stamped on the tongue, while a contrasting rubber cupsole in off-white grounds the shoe with a vintage court-shoe feel. The Skel Top reads as a statement piece yet wears with the versatility of a classic white sneaker — equally at home with raw-hem denim, tailored trousers, or a relaxed tracksuit.

AMIRI selects supple Italian calfskin for the Skel Top, prized for its fine grain, even finish, and ability to hold the precision-cut skeletal detailing without fraying. The leather is paired with a vulcanized rubber sole for comfort and traction, finished with a tonal stitch line that emphasizes the shoe’s architectural construction.
Styling
Lean into AMIRI’s rock-luxe DNA and pair the Skel Top with slim black denim, a vintage band tee, and a tailored leather jacket for an effortless off-duty look. For a cleaner silhouette, style them with relaxed cream trousers, an oversized oxford shirt, and minimal gold jewelry — letting the sculptural cut-outs do the talking.

Care Instructions
- Wipe the leather upper gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove surface dust.
- Use a neutral or ivory-toned leather cleaner with a soft cloth for deeper cleaning; avoid colored polishes that may transfer.
- Apply a quality leather conditioner sparingly every few months to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protect the cut-out panels and skel detailing with a colorless leather or suede protector spray before first wear.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature; never place near direct heat sources or radiators.
- Store in the original dust bag or box, with shoe trees or acid-free tissue to retain the high-top shape.
