Acne Studios is joining in with the many other brands who've released sock-like sneaker models lately, with its 'Tristan' model featuring a comfort-focused design that boasts a modern aesthetic.
The high-top iteration of the Tristan model is the most bold, with its textured uppers hitting at the middle of the wearer's shins to offer some added warmth, or to function as statement boots. The lightweight uppers are attached to rubber soles that are a matching hue of black, which also feature Acne Studio's name on the backs of the heels in the form of an imprint. To prevent slips, the label gives the soles a grid-like design that allows them to hold onto whatever terrain the wearer is walking on.
