In an unlikely turn of events, Australia's PAM and Italy's Forfex have come together to create some great shoes. The result is the PAM Forfex sneaker, and it is detailed to the max.

A stylized approach is used that incorporates what appears to be a random application of designs all over the [animal-vulcanized sneaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-4). Basically, the PAM Forfex sneakers appear as though someone has [randomly adhered stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticky-kicks) all over them.
