APT.4B gives the Classic Original Tennis shoes by FILA a brand new design update. The streetwear label informs the silhouette with details that nod to the 80s for a retro feel. The nostalgic design language is true to APT.4B's aesthetic as its store is designed to replicate the look of NYC apartments in the 90s.
The sneaker silhouette sees a cream tonal upper informed by suede materials lined with leather materials. The signature dual tonal flag of FILA's is on the side of the silhouette. Additional details include the APT.4B logo embossed on the heel in a golden color by the "F" symbol to captivate both of the contributing efforts. There are two laces that come with the sneaker -- both of which have gold tips and laces that are either cream or navy blue.
