Casablanca introduces the new Atlantis sneaker model, marking its inaugural sneaker model that is inspired by the underwater utopia. It boasts a sculpted design that features a waved sole unit foundation that is applied as a nod to the natural movement of water.
It has a chunky base that supports the perforated upper with suede paneling at the heel and toe in bold hues of red or blue. Similar to the brand's clothing, the Atlantis is an elevated piece that is not short of quality. Additional details include the pop of color that is seen along the panels and the outsole base depending on the colorway. The red colorway has a green base and the blue colorway has a matching blue outsole.
