Brandblack returns for winter with a new take on the weighty sneaker. Sporting a custom Vibram sole, the Kite Racer is the Californian footwear brand’s latest runner-inspired model, offered in a quartet of debut colorways. Along with tonal white and black, the shoe will also release in a duo of more colorful iterations, blending black or blue uppers with bold orange panels and contrasting “BLACK” branding. Complementary hits on the midsole are balanced with a neutral black outsole, sockliner, tongue and laces. A lag looped around the laces completes the shoe, adding to the technical motif and revealing the sneaker’s construction.

Stay tuned for Brandblack’s soon-to-be revamped website to offer the Kite Racer for $200 USD shortly.

For more hefty runners, YEEZY is gearing up to release a “mauve” BOOST 700.
