It is inspired by the iconic architect known as Frank Lloyd Wright and the direct inspiration can be seen through its color palette and design influence. His plans for Broadacre City are the specific influence and are marked by the accompanied editorial of the shoes shot in Scottsdale, Arizona. The shoot took place under natural lighting and showcased spring-ready footwear full of bright tones. To obtain the shoes, users must download the KITH app and register for the drawing. This begins on April 14th and runs until April 16th as winners will be selected and charged on April 17th.
