OFF-WHITE c/o Virgil Abloh 2015 Fall/Winter Black Boots
Although we’re in the midst of summer, winter boots are beginning to trickle onto our radar, first with OFF-WHITE c/o Virgil Abloh‘s take on a heavy duty construction boot. Reminiscent of the popular workwear boot silhouette, this pair will easily take you through the colder months. Comprised of premium materials, a black upper serves as the canvas to popping yellow rope laces that engulf the top of the boot. Finished off with hardware detailing in the lacing system and on the sole, this pair retails for €638 EUR (approximately $690 USD). Head over to Antoniolo to cop a pair.
Stone Island Shadow Project Chelsea Sneaker_Suede/Leather
The Chelsea Boot has been an ever-present footwear style since the 1960′s and the majority of the models released in recent years have stayed true to the boot’s origins without too much experimentation. For the summer, Stone Island’s Shadow Project has taken the timeless design and incorporated certain sneaker elements to it, resulting in a more street-ready design. Constructed out of smooth cowhide and suede, the Chelsea Sneaker features elastic panelling at the side for a snug fit, a leather heel pull tab and white CXADO branding at the tongue and back. The tonal upper sits atop of a contrasting rubber sole that is embellished with a geometric motif and the Stone Island logo. Priced at $470 USD, the Stone Island Shadow Project Chelsea Sneaker_Suede/Leather is available in “Nero” and “Salvia” colorways at select stockists including HAVEN.
Rick Owens Geobasket Leather Sneakers "Off-White"
Rick Owens‘ popular line of footwear is getting the off-white treatment for fall/winter, starting with an “Off-White” colorway for its signature Geobasket silhouette. The coveted style is a reimagination of the classic hi-top executed with a Rick Owens flair. Paired with an exaggerated tongue complemented by black accents, the entirety of the shoe is in off-white, including its sole. Comprised of the highest quality in leathers, the shoe is made in Italy and retails for £730.00 GBP (approximately $1,140 USD). Head over to oki-ni to purchase a pair for yourself.
Common Projects for MR PORTER Tournament
Common Projects presents a MR PORTER exclusive iteration of its popular low-top Tournament silhouette for the summer season. The tennis sneaker’s traditional design has been upgraded with a premium washed-suede construction and fine leather finishings across the inner lining. Tonal lacing and the brand’s signature golden stamp placed at the heel counter rounds out the upper’s timeless design, which is placed atop of a crisp white midsole. The Italian-made sneaker is priced at $390 USD, and can be purchased here.
Golden Goose Deluxe Brand Superstar Distressed Leather Sneakers
Golden Goose Deluxe Brand has created a sneaker that intentionally mimics the look of distressed skate shoes. An effect that would normally take a while to achieve, these low-tops feature off-white premium leather, with navy and red details. Made in Italy, the shoe incorporates golden GGDB branding along the side of the sneaker, as well as on the tongue. No two pairs are alike, with each shoe hand-brushed and waxed. Head over to MR. PORTER to purchase the pair for £208 GBP (approximately $325 USD).
