This sneaker is inspired by footwear from the early 80's that was dual purpose - basketball and tennis. There's something beautiful in limiting material choices. Shoes from that era were simple, often with no more than five materials: mesh, suede, leather, rubber, and cotton for the laces. Handmade in Italy, the DNA of our footwear program is injected into this design. A tonal stitch line crosses the upper, calling back to the Edition One Runner. Rolled leather piping references layering.
