Guide
Full breakdown
The Autry Reelwind Low is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by 1980s marathon runners, featuring a ripple sole, suede and nylon upper panels, and the Autry 'A' logo on the quarter. Part of the Italian brand's expansion beyond the Medalist silhouette, the Reelwind draws from the same retro running aesthetic that fueled the popularity of New Balance heritage models. Made in Vietnam with design from Italy, it sits at a mid-premium price point.
Questions answered
FAQ
How does the Autry Reelwind compare to New Balance retro runners?
The Reelwind occupies similar style territory to the NB 574 or 327 but with an Italian design sensibility. Build quality is comparable. New Balance has far more colorway options and stronger brand recognition, especially in the US.
Is the Autry Reelwind comfortable?
Yes, it is a comfortable lifestyle shoe with adequate cushioning for daily wear. Not performance-level, but the padded collar and EVA midsole handle casual use well.
Does the Reelwind Low run true to size?
Generally true to size, though the fit is slightly narrower than comparable New Balance models. Those with wider feet may want to try in-store first or size up half.
Where is the Autry Reelwind made?
Production is in Vietnam, with design from Autry's Italian headquarters. The brand positions itself as a premium lifestyle label drawing on American sporting heritage filtered through Italian aesthetics.
