Sculpted Luscious Functional Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

A-COLD-WALL* Designs Sculptural Converse for the Season

— August 27, 2020 — Fashion
A-COLD-WALL* introduces a new footwear design in the form of bold sculptural Converse designs to elevate the latter's casual design. The streetwear imprint's industrial aesthetic is the prominent design language that informs the sneaker and the latest drop stays true to the rugged brutalism that the brand embodies.

The Converse sneakers made its original debut on the runway when the fashion brand showcased its Spring/Summer 2020 designs. The sneakers include low top paneling silhouettes of the Corbusier Hi and the newer Shard Lo. These boast a sleek look that is slightly more industrial due to its chunkier structure overall. The brand also include a pair of Chuck Taylor elevated with ripstop upper and clear eyestays for a futuristic look before rounded out with a pair of ERX260s.
