The newest Prada sneakers take on a simplistic route as the fashion house gives the silhouette ultra minimal elements that are made for casual wear. The footwear was showcased at Isetan Shinjuku's pop-up shop, gravitating the attention of visitors with its mysterious elements, as it has yet been named. It boasts a mid-cut silhouette with knit materials comprised of its uppers in a predominantly black hue. This all sits atop a bulky white mid-sole that nods to some sportswear sensibilities.
Branding details are found in a large 'PRADA' print on top of the forefoot, with dual-tone black and white lacing system finished in leather materials. The shoes are now available to shop for the price of $760 USD at the pop-up location in Japan.
