Just in time for the holiday season, a fresh set of KITH and Fear of God sneakers have been released. Dubbed the 424, the collaborative design is immediately eye-catching. In part, this is due to the high-top style of the shoes, which makes them look like a cross between sneakers and boots.
However, the sole is what's most captivating, as it contrasts boldly with the rest of the construction. Thick and left a clean white hue, the soles have a jagged tooth-like bottom that makes them both stylish and functional for wear on slippery surfaces. The uppers are made from premium materials and come in either deep red or navy -- with these colors taking over the entirety of it.
