Italian clothing brand DIESEL has announced the launch of The PROTOTYPE, a new sneaker design that will be released with an accompanying DIESEL NFT created by The Fabricant, a company specializing in digital-only fashion.
Designed by Creative Director Glenn Martens, The PROTOTYPE is an innovative sneaker silhouette that is unlike anything to ever be offered by DIESEL. According to the company, the sneaker reflects the start of a new tone for DIESEL footwear (hence its name) by breaking age-old design conventions and pushing the boundaries of what an athletic model can look and feel like.
Contributing to DIESEL's renewed, forward-thinking approach to footwear, the brand has also opted to enter the burgeoning space of NFTs and digital fashion. DIESEL and The Fabricant crafted a digital artwork based around the sneaker.
