Fashion brand Jil Sander introduces a new iteration of its classic sneakers designed for the warmer seasons upon us. The unisex silhouette arrives in a clean palette of either white or black for a versatile design language. To create the new shoe, co-creative directors Lucie and Luke Meier take the classic shoe and reimagine a fresh take to create something that retains an athletic language with comfortable touches.
It is offered in both a low and a mid-top silhouette as a reference to basketball shoes and is complete with paneled details throughout the upper along with perforations for a touch of breathability. It is made with a thick wheat tonal sole unit and has an upper made from soft calfskin Nappa leather.
