Fashion label Vetements introduces two new Sock Trainer footwear models for the Fall/Winter 2019 season in a monochromatic color palette. The drop features two iterations in total, with the selection of a white base or a black base foundation.
The duo is adorned in printed logo motifs in the contrasting hue to add a touch of minimalistic branding details. The black iteration is a low-cut silhouette, highlighted by an Anarchy emblem informed in an upside-down manner on the lateral side. The construction is made up of jersey knit materials and finished with white laces and a white toe cap. The white colorway is constructed from jacquard materials and boasts a high-top structure, rounded off with a black outsole and the Vetements logo across the front.
