Famously popular Belgian fashion designer Kris Van Assche gives us a look into one of his sneaker models from Spring/Summer 2009. The artistic director for Dior and former understudy of Hedi Slimane, brings a contemporary edge to the overall sneaker design with his nonchalant style and penchant for versatility. Featuring a nice cool grey leather upper, the kicks combine minimalistic detailing with a more technical aesthetic yet still remaining an instant classic. The sneakers are now available in limited quantities at premier Parisian boutique colette.

    Usually not a fan of the retardedly priced high end kicks, but the design on these is insane. That top view makes them look so buttery. could do without the logo

    You can get them online at Colette for the low low price of $715….I’d rather get some Lanvins or 2 pairs of Common Projects….http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/25834/kris-van-assche-sneackers/89/

    thank you so much jayvilla people make me sick to my stomach with that comment nicekicks.com actually had a visual break down of what the yeezy’s incorporated so they in themselves aren’t some origianl design but the mindless zombies of “fashion” like to proclaim the yeezy as the first and last sneaker ever needed and I actually thought they were cool but the hype and long drag in any release just forced me to move on
