Brandblack introduces a new footwear silhouette entitled the Kite Racer as a part of the label's Fall/Winter 2018 seasonal offerings. The sneakers are designed for long-distance running purposes with their lightweight upper crafted from monofilament ripstop. A highlighting feature of the running shoes is the custom Vibram midsole constructed by the label's founder and the head designer himself, David Raysse.
For additional traction and grip while running, the shoe's outsoles incorporate a black traction pattern. The Kite Racer silhouette offers multiple colorway options including orange and white, all-white, all-black, black with purple and pink accents, and light blue with orange and black accents. The sneakers are priced at $200 USD a pair and will be available online at Brandblack.
