As part of Valentino’s seasonal collaboration with Japanese power player UNDERCOVER, two new collaborative sneakers including a take on the Italian brand’s Garavani Climbers and Skull-Appliqué sneakers have released.

A skull-appliqué toting Takahashi’s normative graphic style, as well as Valentino’s “V” logo, has been placed on the lateral side, with more branding marking the tongue and heel regions. The Garavani Climbers sneakers have been doused in a bold white with various green hits throughout. The two brand’s UFO Edgar Allen Poe illustration patch has been emblazoned on the tongue, with various branding details found throughout. This is met by the silhouettes chunky outsole.
