Despite the flurry of style advice that comes with every new season, one constant remains; the hunger for new sneakers. But it’s not all about minimal, clean-lined leather styles, as the rise of statement sneakers means that there is a whole new world of sneakers to explore. Thankfully, there’s a perfect new pair of sneakers for everyone this season courtesy of the latest drop from Parisian fashion house, Kenzo.
All-white sneakers do not have to be so conventional; and Kenzo’s Tennix turns the brand’s iconic logo full circle on the side of its smooth white leather uppers. Featuring a sober tone design with a bold silicone KENZO logo to the side, the durable modern sneaker sits atop of a thick rubber outsole for added comfort. Try going for a tonal grey look during the day to allow the white sneakers to balance out the entire look and provide an understated, clean colour palette that will look strong all season long.
Black Calvin Nappa Uni Sneakers
An exclusive new offering for 2017, the Black Calvin Nappa Uni Sneakers have a distinctive black Nappa leather midsole that is delicately detailed with elastic bands across the foot and a thick Kenzo embossed logo to the side. Wear yours with a subtle turn up trouser and a simple grey sweat for a comfortable everyday look.
White Sonic E17 Gummy Mesh Sonic Sneakers
The Sonic Sneaker is the definitive silhouette in the latest Kenzo footwear collection as it epitomises the brand’s ability to push boundaries through innovative design and inventive detailing. Described as ‘futuristic and fast’, the Kenzo Sonic takes inspiration from retro technical sneakers and features a meshed neoprene inner sleeve for a sock-like fit. While the embossed outsole with forefoot grooves provides the sneaker with added traction, comfort and flexibility.
Black Velvet E17 Flying Logo Sneakers
Inspired by classic flat-soled skateboarding shoes, slip-on sneakers are one of our key investment pieces for the season. That’s largely because, as we transition into spring and summer, there is something so appealing about a pair of lightweight sneakers that quite literally slip on and off. These Kenzo Black Velvet E17 Sneakers are defined by an all-over Kenzo logo pattern, tonal leather accents and a durable rubber sole. The perfect pair of sneakers to wear with a slim-fitting trouser, jean, chino or short.
Black Vulcano E17 Canvas Eyes Sneakers
No sneaker rotation is complete without a pair of reliable high-tops; and these Black Vulcano Eyes Sneakers are an easy-going, easy-to-wear pair courtesy of their thick vulcanized rubber sole and comfortable canvas upper. The modern monochrome sneakers adopt Kenzo’s iconic eye print and are best worn as a focal point to an all-black ensemble; so match yours with a pair of black skinny jeans and a simple black tee.
