The Designer Sneaker Edit
It’s rare that a sneaker breaks through to certified icon status – but this season, there are several styles emerging from the superbrands with the potential to do just that. Here, Zack Schlemmer of sneaker experts Stadium Goods shares his take on these future classics. Shop your new favorites here, plus find out how to try on the season’s highlights virtually through the Farfetch iOS app.
Gucci
‘My first thoughts on this wild design is that the lacing mechanism looks just like the old Puma Disc system – they remind me of technical early-2000s running shoes, which I'm sure is what they’re going for.’
Off-White
‘Virgil Abloh just can't get enough of Nike after all of his various collaborations, and this design looks highly influenced by classic Nike models like the Dunk and Air Jordan 1.’
Prada
‘These Prada sneakers look like they are from the wardrobe department of a futuristic sci-fi movie – there’s a utility-boot-meets-sneaker thing going on here.’
Versace
‘When 2 Chainz and Versace team up, the results are obviously outstanding. This colorway is wild and it looks kind of like there’s a topographical map print on there.’
