HBX and Starwalk Join on the Episode I in the DIY Pack of Footwear
Retail brand HBX works in collaboration with Starwalk on a pair of the classic Episode I sneaker model as a part of the ongoing DIY Pack of footwear designs. The base of the sneaker references its monochromatic origin when it made its initial debut. It is constructed with white buffed leather materials at the base and encourages creative design with the personable interchanging design at the side of the sneaker.
It offers a set of velcro star emblem patches that can be stuck onto the back of the midfoot area in a variety of different iridescent colors. The patchwork captures bright shades of green in either patent leather finishes or a matte leather completion. This is rounded out with printed insoles and embroidered accents.
