Oneness x Ibn Jasper x Diamond Supply Co. Jasper "Kentucky Wildcats"
Kentucky-based boutique Oneness has teamed up with Diamond Supply Co. on an iteration of its Ibn Jasper model. The result is a tonal ”Kentucky Blue” iteration of Jasper’s first sneaker with Diamond Supply Co. A unified, deep blue dye has been applied to the suede upper, interconnecting laces, and rubber outsole, and also the design intricacies such as the string attached to the zipper, and flared cutouts lined across the shoe’s body. Gold accents, featured on the Diamond emblem is pinned to the leather tongue tab, and the back heel zipper add a satisfying luxury finish to the appealing silhouette. The ”Kentucky Wildcats” Jasper is set to launch via its Oneness this Saturday, March 7 for the retail price of $130 USD.
