The Raf Simons sneakers are a bright and bold shoe, which stays in line with the designer's heavy floral and grunge influence carried throughout the brand's 2013 designs.
The floral velcro high tops are made in an avant-garde fashion as the shoe boasts a textured multi-colored fabric that has been crumpled and ruched to give off the appearance of a floral print. The sneakers are finished off with three velcro strap fittings, bright white solers and black pipping to pull the look together. The shoes are the newest addition to the designer's Spring/Summer 2013 line, which brings back playful grunge inspired looks that were made popular in the 90s.
These rad Raf Simons sneakers are a bold unisex pair of kicks that are currently available for purchase at Oki-Ni for £467.
