Offering an on-trend performance sneaker option for 2012, Raf Simons has put forward this pair of hi-tops as a new addition to the Belgian house’s catalog. Constructed using a nylon and leather upper, the shoe was executed utilizing a typical thick and heavily cushioned tooling to improve comfort for the wearer, while athletic sensibilities are merged with a sleek and monochromatic silhouette. Hints of green act as the only inclusion of color blended with a distinct sole. Designed with a distinct look that still seems to adhere to characteristics of a traditional sneaker, pricing has been set at €270 EUR (approximately $340 USD) from colette.
