Italian fashion label Marni introduces its Big Foot sneaker, which is essentially its own iteration of a classic 80s sneaker silhouette. The shoe is elevated with updated colors, exaggerated shapes, and chunky proportions. The latest offering by Marni follows the Dad shoe idea that has been circulating in the fashion industry as of late. The Big Foot sneaker is set to be a part of Marni's Fall/Winter 2018 selection for the price of $650 a pair.
The uppers are constructed from technical fabric and elevated with a suede band accent that flows over the toe cap and the side panel, all of which sits on top of a full-size rubber sole unit. The color palette is a neutral beige hue, popped with the bright yellow suede band.
