Following up from its head-turning Chain Reaction shoe, Versace recently released a bold new sneaker.

Going for a court-ready basketball aesthetic, the Medusa-Embellished High-Top Sneaker features paneled premium leather uppers that are accented by ancient Greek motif eyelets, and a Medusa head chain charm at the tongue. Additional detailing includes interior bubble-quilt lining, and perforations at the toebox. Elevating the shoe is a chunky sole unit, complete with debossed “VERSACE” branding at the heel and tacked on gold plates.

Priced at $1,192 USD, Versace’s Medusa-Embellished High-Top Sneaker is available now at MATCHESFASHION.COM.

In case you missed it, Maison Margiela’s chunky Retro Fit Lo silhouette received a black patent leather take.
