Luxury fashion house Versace introduces a new iteration of the signature Chain Reaction shoe model. This time, the design is centered around button-like slogans all throughout the uppers in colorful graphics. The base of the luxe sneaker is constructed from black neoprene materials before being decorated with circular graphics along with slogans that read "I Love Versace" and "NO!"
There are also images of different animal prints, hearts, and handbags adorning the footwear with a notable Greca emblem at the toe box. The uppers are structured with a clear rubber panel accent that borders around the sides of the sneaker. Additional details include white brail that reads "Love" across the toe box constructed from suede, lace aglets dipped in rubber, and Medusa heads on the heel as a branding detail.
