Alexander McQueen's signature Oversized Sneakers arrive in a colorway that directly nods to art culture with a design that replicates the look of spray paint. It does so in a muted manner, completing the sneaker in a black and white colorway.
The chunky silhouette features a color blocking look, with the base complete in white and the spray painted effect in black. The uppers are made from luxe leather materials and the front is coated in the black color and the back in white. The design gives the overall look a gradient visual across the quarter, fading in a speckled manner throughout the midsoles. The laces are a clean white with branding accents on the heel to round out the entire sneaker.
