Clothing created in partnership with car companies, like the all-new Aston Martin x Hogan sneakers, can be hit or miss. Fortunately for the English automaker its new shoe appears to be a hit. Aston Martin wisely seems to have let Hogan take the wheel here, with the automaker's input limited to the leatherwork and overall design; the shoe is meant to look like an Aston Martin car in silhouette. The leather is paired with nylon to give the sneaker a more casual look.
Aston Martin is already known for making luxury sports cars but the brand has begun a big push as of recent to position itself as firmly upscale, enlisting NFL superstar Tom Brady to help and now Hogan as well. The Aston Martin x Hogan is limited to just 3,000 pairs which means sneakerheads and gearheads will both have to act fast if they hope to snag a pair.
