Kerby Jean-Raymond's fashion label Pyer Moss introduces its inaugural footwear silhouette entitled the 'Sculpt Sneaker.' It is a futuristic silhouette that references the iconic design language of Jean-Raymond. The sneaker boasts a stark colorway of black and yellow detailing a unique silhouette. It is spotlighted by its chunky midsole foundation and the rest of the shoe is almost entirely un-branded.
There are some subtle branding details that can be found on the midsole informed by tonal embossing. The silhouette comes in a mid-cut boot silhouette that slants downwards around the toe area. The upper is made from mesh and suede paneling details in black complete with white topstitching for some tonal contrast. The sole unit arrives in yellow and is built to be oversized as a strong foundation with bulbous designs.
