These Eytys sneakers are bound to capture the attention of style-minded consumers as the footwear offerings for the Spring/Summer 2020 season are rolled out by different brands. Dubbed 'Harmony,' the Eytys sneakers reference 2000s skate culture and, therefore, deliver with strong ties to nostalgia for many. More specifically, the brand looked at "the overly padded shoes [that are] loved by skateboarders" and used this motif to inform the design. The model is extra-chunky, building on the popularity of oversized sneakers.
The brand makes the silhouette available in two colorways--the 'Leather White' and the 'Tumbled Taupe.' While both boast a full leather upper, the texture of the two versions slightly differs to give consumers the power of choice.
The Eytys sneakers are made available to consumers at $310 USD.
