The lookbook for a new pair of Iceberg shoes has been released. The luxury offering is quite experimental, bold, and entertains strong hints of the sci-fi aesthetic. Simply dubbed 'The Drip,' the silhouette features an enticing upper. The construction boasts leather, nubuck, and mesh, which is pretty standard in the world of contemporary streetwear. However, the Iceberg shoes have one, extra unconventional element — they look as if someone had dipped them into wax. Present on the toe cap and dripping down the tongue of the sneakers, Iceberg adds "a layer of transparent polyurethane."
This model is accredited to the brand's creative director James Long who sought out to fuse luxury streetwear with an artistic touch. Debuted during London Fashion Week, the footwear is available in four colorways.
