Back in the 1990s, the Californian-based footwear brand Simple made some of the most popular skate shoes around. The clean designs (hence the name Simple) were worn by now legendary skaters such as Richard Mulder and Mark Gonzales. Now Simple is relaunching in the UK with its 2017 spring/summer collection that references the brand’s heritage and cult popularity. For the return, Simple has brought back some of its original hero silhouettes, including the Barney, the Mesa clog, and arguably the brand’s most famous design: the O.S Sneaker.
