Alexander McQueen introduces a new iteration of its 'Oversized Sneaker' silhouette and it is entitled 'White 3D.' The sneaker retains the same design in terms of structure and construction, but there are additional layering effects applied to give it a visually manipulating finish. At the heel area, the monochromatic sneaker features a trippy graphic to fool the eye.
The silhouette is constructed from white leather throughout the base, further detailed with an extravagant sole unit that is chunky and transparent. The heel tab also features the 3D effect and the outsoles are also outstanding. It boasts a cut-out detail that is inspired by leopard prints. The shoe is then rounded out with branding details at the tongue and heel, finished with both white and black laces.
