London-based brand A-COLD-WALL* introduces a new piece to add to its seasonal line up with the unveiling of the sleek Shard Lo II sneaker model. The design language is minimal with a clean white upper with a subtle contrast tonally at the sole unit with gray hues.
The sneaker boasts an update with the base remodelled after its own archival silhouette. The crisp colorway allows the sneaker to be highly versatile for the warmer seasons this year. Designer Samuel Ross adorns the silhouette with additional accents in a simple manner. The signature shard structure can be seen integrated alongside the recognizable ACW* shape with embossed branding over the suede and premium calf leather upper.
