Overview
The Gioseppo 80677 belongs to the same retro trainer family the brand built from the classic tennis shoes of the 1970s and 80s, reworked for everyday wear. It's not a technical running shoe, nor a dress shoe: it sits in that middle ground that works for a relaxed office as much as for the weekend, without having to change shoes when you leave the house.
Where most of the range plays it safe in black or brown, the 80677 goes for an off white suede base, paired with two purple leather side stripes and a mustard yellow suede heel tab. It's the boldest colourway in the 80xxx family, built for anyone who wants to stand out without leaving the comfort and versatility of the line behind.
The result keeps all the comfort and easy everyday wear of the Gioseppo retro line, with a colour pop that makes it instantly recognisable without tipping into a busy design.

Everything you need to know
Overview
The Gioseppo 80677 is part of Gioseppo's retro trainer collection, where the brand takes classic sporting silhouettes and reworks them in colourways that go beyond the usual, like this off white with purple stripes and a yellow heel tab.
Design and style
The design plays on the contrast between a very light base colour and two clearly defined accents: two purple leather side stripes and a mustard yellow suede heel tab, echoed in the laces. It's a balance that adds personality without becoming busy.
Materials and finish
The off white suede upper has a soft feel and a matte finish that hides everyday wear well. The smooth leather side stripes add a contrast of texture against the rest of the upper, and the yellow suede heel tab is a distinctive detail within Gioseppo's 80xxx family.
All-day comfort
The fit doesn't press on the instep, and the flat laces let you adjust the volume to your foot. The flat rubber sole supports a natural step, without the stiffness of trainers built with more cushioning than everyday wear really needs.
When to wear it
It's built for informal wear: a relaxed office, getting around town, travelling light with one versatile pair, and any weekend plan that doesn't call for a formal shoe.
How to style it
Off white is an easy base to work with: light jeans, chinos in neutral tones, and mid-season layers in grey or navy, letting the purple and yellow do the talking. Discover more options in our men's casual shoes range, or take a look at the latest new arrivals.
Our take at Calzados Vesga
It's one of the colourways we recommend to anyone who already knows the Gioseppo retro line and wants something with more character than the usual black or brown. The purple and yellow against off white catches the eye without going too far.
Before you decide
Common question before buying: whether off white suede marks easily. Like any light-coloured suede, it needs a little more care than a dark colourway, but a suede brush and some attention keep it looking good with normal wear.
It might not suit you if you'd rather have a single-colour trainer with no contrast, or you don't want to think about caring for light suede.
It will suit you well if you want a retro trainer with more personality than the basic colourways, and you like your footwear to say something about your style.
Compared with similar options, the 80677 stands out for a colourway that's unusual in a men's trainer, while keeping the same comfort and build as the rest of the Gioseppo retro family.

Size guide
The Gioseppo 80677 is available from size 41 to 45 (roughly UK 7 to UK 10½), with the standard fit of a men's trainer, neither tight nor roomy. If you're torn between two sizes, we'd recommend ordering your usual trainer size, since the suede stretches very little with wear. Check the brand's size guide for an exact conversion, as it can vary between manufacturers.
Frequently asked questions
Do these run small or large? They run true to size, following standard men's trainer sizing.
Are they comfortable all day? Yes, the fit doesn't press on the instep and the flat sole supports a natural step throughout the day.
Can they be worn for long walks? They're comfortable for everyday walking around town, though for long hikes or running we'd recommend a technical shoe with dedicated cushioning.
How do I clean them? Being a light suede, brush them dry with a suede brush and avoid excess moisture; suede protector sprays help the colour hold up over time.
What size should I order with wide feet? The fit isn't especially narrow, but if you have wide feet and you're torn between sizes, we'd recommend sizing up for extra comfort across the instep.
Summary
The Gioseppo 80677 is a men's retro trainer in off white suede with purple stripes and a yellow heel tab, built for everyday wear. It's for anyone after a light-coloured trainer with character, comfortable from the first wear, bought with the guidance of a specialist shop like Calzados Vesga.
Looking for something different?
If you want more cushioning for all-day wear, a technical trainer will serve you better than this retro line. If you need something for slightly smarter occasions, a smooth leather casual shoe is a better fit. If you'd rather a more understated colourway in the same line, check the Gioseppo 80xxx in black or brown.
Is this your shoe?
Yes, it's for you if you want a men's retro trainer in a light, distinctive colourway, comfortable for everyday wear and easy to pair with jeans or chinos.
Maybe not, if you prefer a more understated colourway or need a technical trainer built for sport.
