About us


We Love to be Difficult!


Difficult By P is a Swedish sneaker brand for both men and women, unique in its history, design, and quality.

All of our sneakers are hand-sewn in Italian calfskin at one of the world's most renowned family-owned shoe factories in the small town of Fiesso d’Artico, just outside Venice.


This is the same factory that produces sneakers for brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, and it’s the first time a Swedish brand has had the opportunity to manufacture its sneakers here.


Same factory, same shoemakers, same exquisite materials, same craftsmanship. But at a completely different price.

We create a dressed-up sneaker that you can wear for all occasions, whether it’s for everyday life or parties, with jeans or suits/dresses, at work, or on a long walk.


For both men and women.


It is the famous Swedish sports journalist Patrick Ekwall, who is the "P" in Difficult, and he has worked hard to make his dream come true. To this day, it is Patrick who designs every single detail of our sneakers.

We dare to say that these are the best, most comfortable, and most stylish sneakers in the world.


And we love to be Difficult. 

An Exquisite Craft


All our shoes are made from Italian calfskin from Tuscany and produced at one of the world’s most renowned family-owned shoe factories in Fiesso d’Artico, just outside Venice. The factory also produces sneakers for large, well-known brands like Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, and Dior, and for the first time, a Swedish brand has had the opportunity to manufacture its sneakers and accessories here.


Since we send our designs to the best shoemakers in the world, neither we nor our customers ever need to worry about quality. You can have your own opinion about the design, but you won’t find a sneaker with the same quality and comfort.

All shoes are hand-sewn and the production involves 20-30 different steps. We never compromise on quality, whether it’s the materials, stitching, or the tiniest detail.


The most unique aspect of our sneakers is that they are lined with calfskin on the inside as well, allowing the shoe to breathe naturally. You’ll understand what we mean...
