The Deco 2.0 Derby in Black is the answer to a question a lot of men have been asking: what do you wear when a sneaker is too casual but a dress shoe is too much? With open derby lacing up top and a clean white rubber cupsole below, this sneaker carries the lines of a dress shoe and the ease of something you'd actually wear all weekend. A matte nubuck upper and subtle embossed Aquila star keep the whole thing quietly refined. Wear it with tailored trousers, dark chinos or straight-leg denim and it holds its own in all three.
Strobel construction keeps it light and flexible underfoot, and a soft leather lining makes it genuinely comfortable across a full day. If you're after a premium men's sneaker that works harder than the average casual shoe, the Deco 2.0 Derby is worth a close look. Browse the full men's casual shoes collection.

Spray lightly with Eco Water Proof Spray before first wear and reapply regularly. After each wear, brush gently to lift dirt and restore the nap. If caught in the rain, allow to dry naturally away from heat before brushing. Never apply standard leather polish to suede or nubuck. Always wear socks and rotate regularly so shoes dry fully between wears.

"I have been a shopper at Aquila for years and because of the quality, i still have some shoes from over 15 years ago and they still look and feel amazing. From their boots to their sneakers the whole range is absolute quality. Highly recommend!!!"
"I’ve honestly been really impressed with the Deco 2. 0 Tan Sneakers. From the first wear, the comfort stood out straight away — no break in period, just easy to throw on and go. They’ve got that perfect balance where they feel supportive enough for all day wear but still lightweight. The fit is spot on for me, true to size, and they hold their shape really well even after regular use. The quality is what surprised me most though — the materials feel premium and durable, not like they’re going to fall apart after a few months. The tan colour is also super versatile, goes with pretty much anything whether I’m dressing casual or slightly smarter. What I like most is they look clean without trying too hard. You can tell there’s been thought put into both the design and comfort, which isn’t always easy to find in one shoe. Overall, really solid pair of sneakers. Easy to wear, look great, and feel like they’ll last. Definitely happy with them."
"This is my second pair of Aquila Deco 2. 0 Sneakers, and they do not disappoint. They are comfortable straight out of the box, and go with just about anything."
"These sneakers look good, are comfortable and are very versatile. Take the advice from Aquila and go up a size. I usually take 44 in men’s shoes but that size in these sneakers was tight. Going up to a 45 fitted much better."
"Feels and looks high quality. Very nice"
"I experienced a wonderful customer service from the Aquila team . The shoes i bought online were not the right size for me but when i went to store they did the best tofind the correct size for me from east coast ."
"Comfy shoes with a solid sole for good support. Sugar soap helps keep the white soles clean so they look newer for longer"
"The Deco 2. 0 sneakers are great. They are so comfortable! I not only have this navy pair, but also the tan and the white. Do yourself a favour and get a pair!"
"Nice sneakers. I wear orthotics and they still fit well. I'm a 10. 5, so have a wider foot. Ever so slightly tight, but I suspect that will adjust as I wear them in."
"I have the Gray and just bought the white . love the quality and so comfortable to wear for hours. . highly recommended"
