Fresh from the workshop of Giuseppe Zanotti, the hi top shoe called 'Hardware Hi' commands attention through style, luxury and durability. Sauntering through rugged urban landscapes will never be the same again.
This commando boot-inspired hi top shoe features cammo printed on quality canvas and three heavy duty zippers -- two of which run up the sides and one that vertically rises up the back. The centerpiece of the hi top shoe is clearly the curved metal bar with a Velcro fastener, which comes across the front and includes its etched logo.
Not to be outshined by the rest of the eye-catching parts, shiny gold leather runs parallel with the side zippers and then around to the back. And the midsole has been vulcanized for durability.
At first glance, it's difficult to decide which part of the hi top shoe is worthy of grabbing first attention.
