Streetwear imprint NEEDLES introduces a new iteration of one of its most iconic sneaker models with the unveiling of the Asymmetric Ghillie design. The shoes are detailed with two tones throughout the upper, sectioning off down the middle in a blocked aesthetic.
The white shoes are made with crisp canvas materials with beige panels informed in suede at the lateral side of the shoe. It is held with a wide lacing system over the forefoot complete with the flat woven laces. The tongue is marked with the signature butterfly motif embroidered on the section. Additional emblems that nod to the brand can be found at the insole and the midsole heel tab. It all sits on top of a chunky white sole unit foundation and the black colorway follows the same design language.
