Matte Collection is expanding its world of elevated essentials with the debut of its first-ever limited edition sneaker: the Matte Trainer. Known for refined swimwear, resort wear, and ultra-soft athleisure, the brand’s move into footwear feels like a natural next step—one designed for the modern woman who wants her wardrobe to move seamlessly from studio sessions to city errands, travel days, and off-duty moments.
Arriving in a statement metallic silver, the Matte Trainer is designed to function as both a neutral and a fashion-forward accent. The sleek, slim silhouette features a premium upper and refined finishing details, offering a polished alternative to the bulkier sneaker styles that have dominated the market. It is minimal, versatile, and quietly directional—exactly the kind of piece that can elevate a monochrome set, tailored separates, or a casual resort-inspired look.
“Finally athleisure has a sneaker,” says Justina McKee, Founder and Creative Director of Matte Collection. “We’ve engineered the softest sets imaginable, now we’re completing the everyday uniform. I wanted something that felt as intentional and elevated as the rest of what we’re wearing, but still effortless enough for everyday life.”
The launch reflects a broader shift in luxury fashion: comfort is no longer treated as secondary to style. Instead, the new standard is ease with intention—pieces that feel as good as they look, without sacrificing polish. Matte Collection has built its identity around that balance, evolving from a swimwear brand founded in 2017 into a lifestyle label rooted in contour, craftsmanship, timeless palettes, and effortless versatility.
Priced at $148, the buttery soft and light as a feather Matte Trainer will be available exclusively at mattecollection.com in a limited initial drop. For a limited time, this capsule collection launched this weekend at a pop up store in NYC’s Meatpacking district at 841 Washington St. While future colorways may follow, the debut silver edition establishes the sneaker as both a wardrobe staple and a collectible first release from the brand’s new footwear category.
