Palladium launches its Spring/Summer 2018 collections comprised of referential military motifs modified with contemporary updates. Featuring an offering of comfortable “summerized” in tandem with modernized classics, the brand introduces its most innovative designs yet while paying tribute to its esteemed heritage.

Honoring the rebellious spirit of Parisian-student activists in the 1960s, the Pallaphoenix silhouette conceptualizes the uprising through a canvas and knitted fabric tennis shoe. Other iterations, such as the AX_EON, hybridizes a boot and sneaker to deliver a lightweight trainer that can effortlessly transition from utility to urbanity. Knit is introduced for the first time this season as seen in the Pampa Hi Lite K, an iconic Palladium silhouette featuring an upper in a variety of breathable and lightweight knitted fabrics. This ultimate summer shoe incorporates an antibacterial insole, enabling it to be worn with no socks. The comfort-led design is maximized by the use of a lightweight outsole.
