Nick Schneider is putting his best foot forward with Grail. A footwear designer trained at the London College of Fashion, he brings a refined eye and a maker’s mindset to his luxury sneaker label. With each pair designed in Minneapolis and crafted in Portugal by traditional cobblers out of Italian nappa leather, Schneider fuses design pedigree with hands-on authenticity. Grail’s debut silhouette, “The Showman,” available in a variety of colorways, kicks up the traditional men’s casual, business-shoe game to the next level, proving style and substance can walk in sync.
