NYC-based agency Incorp[HER]ated works in collaboration with Diadora on a special project that spotlights diversity and inclusion. This time around, middle and high school students are invited to design a sneaker and the silhouette that gets the privilege is the Duratech Elite LIMITLESS collaboration.
The shoes are designed for both men and women and is full of vibrant hues throughout the entire silhouette. It is led by its construction and the colors that decorate the shoe include purple, pink, blue. It details the shoe in a mismatching manner to break down gender stereotypes. The lateral and medial side of the shoes boasts gradient looks that start with purple and turn into white when it gets closer to the back of the shoe.
