180 the Store worked with Aneeth Arora to create the Pero collection that gives two iconic footwear silhouettes three unique iterations. The Pero collection is comprised of reworked versions of adidas' Stan Smiths and Burkenstock's Arizona sandals. There is a deep focus on traditional textile techniques and Indian craftsmanship -- with each of the footwear models adorned in details such as upcycled fabric materials, crocheted flowers and delicate embellishments.
There is a careful application of the different forms of fabric choices, as the details embroidery emphasize the selected fabric to elevate the minimal silhouettes. Both of the styles are available now, with the Stan Smith iterations priced at $924 and the Crochet Birkenstocks priced at $624 and $726 -- all of which will be exclusively available at 180 the Store.
