These Saint Laurent Sneakers Boast One-Toned Colorways & Smooth Finishes
Riley von Niessen — September 12, 2016 — Fashion
In an effort to bring consumers more selection in the highly sought-after Saint Laurent sneakers, the lavish French brand created the 'Court Classic' in a number of appealing colorways.
Each is marked by an elegant smooth finish, which further helps to complement the simplistic understated structure. In order to enhance this look, the Saint Laurent sneakers are only available in one-toned colorways -- with only the brand's gold logo diverging from this.
Shown on the tongue of the shoes, the visibility of the Saint Laurent name increases the value for many consumers who are loyal to the brand -- making them more likely to purchase the sneakers so that they can add a touch of refined luxury to their looks. In order to add a bit more variance to the uppers, the brand includes some careful stitching on the sides, making the quality make especially clear.
