Stone Island introduces its latest iteration of the Shadow Project capsule made specifically for the Spring/Summer 2021 season. The technical outerwear label prepares for the rising temperatures and goes towards a more lightweight route this time around.
Many of the features include functionality, ensuring elements like packability and transitional structures. The usual slip-on sneakers join the capsule along with the iconic zippered cardigan, the engineered knit pullover sweaters, and much more. There is also the application of GORE-TEX Paclite materials making up the twin zip shell and the bright red fishtail parka. This gives it a lightweight feel with maximum protection from the wind, paired together with the trim liner jacket incorporated with the Polartec Alpha for stretchy sensibilities.
