Philippe Model PRSX Women Sneakers in Butter Bronze
Philippe Model PRSX Women Sneakers in Butter Bronze
The PRSX Women Sneakers in Butter Bronze combine soft butter-toned grained leather with warm bronze detailing for a refined take on Philippe Model's signature low-top. Contrasting taupe laces, zigzag stitching and the metallic shield add subtle depth to the neutral upper, while the hand-finished rubber sole has the deliberately distressed, worn-in character that defines the PRSX. Available in Australia online and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
The warm neutral palette makes this an easy everyday sneaker with enough detail to feel distinctive. Wear them with blue denim and a fine knit, pair them with cream or camel separates for a tonal look, or use the bronze accents to soften black tailoring and relaxed trousers.

Are Philippe Model PRSX sneakers distressed?
Yes. The PRSX is intentionally designed with a distressed, worn-in finish. The rubber sole is hand-worked to create an irregular appearance, so visible markings around the sole are part of the design rather than signs that the shoes have been previously worn.
What are distressed sneakers?
Distressed sneakers are deliberately finished to look softly worn-in rather than perfectly pristine. On the Philippe Model PRSX, this effect is created through hand-finishing around the rubber sole, giving each pair a slightly individual character.
How do Philippe Model PRSX Women Sneakers fit?
The PRSX Women has a standard fit. Philippe Model recommends choosing your usual size rather than sizing up or down.
Are Philippe Model PRSX sneakers made from real leather?
Yes. The Butter Bronze PRSX is crafted with a 100% calf-leather upper, complemented by a leather and terry-cotton lining and removable padded foam insole.
What colour is Butter Bronze?
Butter Bronze combines soft cream-butter leather with warm bronze and taupe-toned accents. The result is a versatile neutral sneaker with subtle metallic detail rather than a bright or highly reflective finish.
Why do Philippe Model sneakers have marks on the sole?
On the PRSX, visible marks, irregularities and unevenness around the rubber sole are intentional. The sole is hand-finished to create the distressed appearance associated with the style.
Do Philippe Model leather sneakers vary from pair to pair?
They can. Natural leather varies in grain and tone, while Philippe Model also uses hand-applied colouring and finishing techniques. Small differences in surface appearance are normal and contribute to the individual character of each pair.
Do Philippe Model PRSX sneakers have removable insoles?
Yes. The PRSX Women is fitted with a removable padded foam insole.
How do you care for distressed leather sneakers?
Avoid soaking the leather or using abrasive cleaners, and keep the sneakers away from direct heat. Loosen the laces before putting them on, use a shoehorn where possible, and allow any moisture to dry naturally at room temperature.
