Italian luxury fashion label Fendi has unveiled the FENDI Match, a unisex sneaker model designed by Kim Jones, the Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear. The new tonal sneaker was released as part of the brand's Winter Capsule Collection.
The FENDI Match features a neutral-toned color scheme, consisting of soothing beige and off-white hues. The silhouette has a soft, rounded design with a layered outsole, including a panel on the back heel and toe cap. This gives the shoe a subtle '90s-era aesthetic.
In addition, the shoe is constructed from slightly distressed suede material and unique pebbled leather. Meanwhile, the laces are delivered in an extra-thick thick fuzzy material. Finally, the classic "FF" logo is located on the shoe's side panel, where it is built right into the design sneaker.
