Designer-Backed Low-Cut Sneakers

adidas and Stella McCartney Create a New Court Boost

Stella McCartney continues to work with long-time partner adidas and the two present a new iteration of the classic Court Boost sneaker model this time around. The low-top silhouette brings a touch of nostalgia as the forces highlight the Treino sneakers from a few years ago which is defined by a similar aesthetic.

It rests on top of a thick gum sole unit which is spread throughout the base foundation and travels up to the heel. Branding can be seen along the side of the shoe in the most notable Three Stripes Trefoil logo along with the designer's name surrounding the motif. It is done in black against a white base foundation to add tonal contrast.
