Palm Angels Debuts Familiar-Looking Low-Top Velcro Sneaker
With semi-transparent rubberized trim.
Palm Angels releases its take on a familiar silhouette; the classic vulcanized low-top, as made famous by the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star. Available in purple, white, and black, the low-top vulcanized sneaker features full canvas uppers and a gum outsole with white foxing.
While the sneaker is reminiscent to the classic canvas silhouette, details like the double Velcro strap, treaded outsole, and elevated toe set this sneaker apart from its inspiration. One of the more prominent details comes in the form of translucent rubber trim that has been haphazardly wrapped around the outsole, and covers the toe, an uncanny similarity to the recent Air Force 1-inspired 424 sneakers. On the insole, an all-over “Palm Angels” print matches the branding seen on the straps and heel license plate tag..
The seasonal Palm Angels Vulcanized Sneakers can find them over at SSENSE for a price of $260 USD.
