Footwear label Palladium showcases its latest Spring/Summer 2018 collection full of militaristic accents on contemporary silhouettes. The new capsule delivers modernized traditional looks by incorporating innovative details onto footwear that stay true to the label's respected heritage.
Palladium uses knit for the first time with this upcoming capsule to offer comfort and breathability. The iconic Pallaphoenix silhouette honors the rebellious spirits of 60s Parisian student activists. It translates through the uprising on the canvas and fabric shoe with knitted details. The AX_EON shoe is a merge between a boot and a sneaker that delivers both form and function. It is light in weight and is suitable for both utility and urbanity. Palladium embraces the concept that the ultimate shoe for the summer weather is something that can be worn without socks. In delivering something up to par, Palladium incorporates antibacterial insoles so that socks are not necessary, delivers a lightweight outsole for ultimate comfort.
