Luxury fashion house Burberry introduces its latest design in the form of the Union Sneaker model and it adds contemporary touches to a heritage piece. The most progressive element is found at the upper's construction, as it blends together leather and polyamide textiles seamlessly on top of a duo-layered midsole foundation.
The label's branding details are found at the tongue on top of the vibrant leather panels with red and black striped accents in contrast over the toe cap. The stripes are seen again at the heel, the lace cage, upper collars, and the lower sidewalls. The back of the shoe features a white paneling detail that stretches to the collars with matching laces. Beneath the base layer are hazel tonal leather materials.
