Undercover is set to release a two-piece collection of gingham sneakers for the S/S '15 season.
The shoes were designed by the Japanese brand's head designer Jun Takahashi and the gingham sneakers feature the "Chaos/Balance" motif the Undercover brand has come to be known for. Unlike the earlier "Chaos/Balance" sneakers, these shoes feature bold font down the tongues of each sneaker. In black lettering, the words "chaos" and "balance" are placed against a tongue's crisp white backdrop.
Juxtaposed with the sneaker's retro print, these shoes are the perfect mix of street and chic style. Offered in a low-top silhouette, the Undercover's S/S '15 sneakers feature an old-school gingham print with the wearer's choice of blue or black.
Sneaker enthusiasts can expect to find Takahashi's latest creation at Net-A-Porter, End.Clothing and other Undercover stockists.
