Miista introduces its latest design in the form of the all-new Nikoletta sneaker. It is made with inspiration from retro silhouettes from iconic footballers and boxers of past decades. Nodding to the 80s, the shoe reimagines the notion of vintage performance gear that is imagined from a stylish and modern perspective.
Creative director, Laura Villasenin explains, “The ‘you’re not there yet’ speech in this industry drives us to keep trying and experimenting. We committed to never arriving. This commitment gives us the freedom to perfect our craft.” It rests at a low profile and features details including the rubber outsole and folded-over tongue. The upper is crafted with goat leather with a contrast side paneling. The colorways include monotone black, black and white, and brown and navy blue.
