Luxe Suede-Crafted Runners

The Running Sneaker by Off-White Boasts a Retro Design Language

— June 10, 2019 — Fashion
The Running Sneaker by streetwear imprint Off-White arrives in two new colorways for the Summer season this year. There are a black and yellow option and a black and white iteration, as well. The design draws inspiration from 70s track which highlights a streamlined look that ends with pointed shape and sits on top of the studded sole unit made from rubber materials.

The sneakers' uppers are constructed from a blend of leather, cotton, suede, and nylon materials, accented with a large 'X' on the lateral side as a branding detail. The shoe is also detailed with cross-stitched heel tabs, a quote on the shoelaces, the tongue, and a zip-tag hanging off the laces, all of which nod to the brand's overall design language.

1. Retro-inspired Sneaker Design - Opportunity for innovative brands to create sneakers with a nostalgic 70s track aesthetic.
2. Luxe Material Combinations - Potential for brands to experiment with blending various materials like leather, cotton, suede, and nylon to create high-end sneakers.
3. Branded Detailing - Chance for companies to incorporate unique and distinctive branding elements like large logos and cross-stitched details on sneakers.
