Samuel Ross Teases the Upcoming A-COLD-WALL* x ROA Capsule
The upcoming A-COLD-WALL* x ROA collection is highly anticipated for fans of both the technical streetwear labels as the duo join heads for an impressive range. A look at what's to come was showcased by Samuel Ross as he continues to develop new and innovative designs.
He continues to explore more footwear this time around and chose to work with ROA to dive deeper, drawing inspiration from the Neal and Andreas silhouette. The first silhouette is named STRAND and it follows the concept of a hiking boot for structure with metallic hooks replacing where eye stays are usually found, holding together blood orange rope laces for a performance-ready technical look. The rest of the uppers are made using heavy-duty fabrication to be fully functional.
