Dallas-based sneaker brand Autry is returning to launch a new bandana-print capsule collection with luxury fashion retailer Antonia. The collection features an updated color scheme for the ‘Medalist’ sneaker, which brings together the distinctive styles of both brands.
The collection sees the tennis-inspired ‘Medalist’ sneaker wrapped in three variations of navy, white, and red bandana print, drawing comparisons to the American flag. Antonia’s branding rests at the midsole in navy coloring, while the same design graces the heel tab. The rest of the sneaker is defined by its bright white base construction, which contrasts with the layout of the uppers.
The Antonia x Auntry ‘Bandana’ sneaker has officially debuted online and in Antonia’s Milan-based locations in Via Cusani 5 and Via Sant’Andrea 10.
