The Running Sneaker by Off-White Boasts a Retro Design Language
References: brownsfashion & hypebeast
The Running Sneaker by streetwear imprint Off-White arrives in two new colorways for the Summer season this year. There are a black and yellow option and a black and white iteration, as well. The design draws inspiration from 70s track which highlights a streamlined look that ends with pointed shape and sits on top of the studded sole unit made from rubber materials.
The sneakers' uppers are constructed from a blend of leather, cotton, suede, and nylon materials, accented with a large 'X' on the lateral side as a branding detail. The shoe is also detailed with cross-stitched heel tabs, a quote on the shoelaces, the tongue, and a zip-tag hanging off the laces, all of which nod to the brand's overall design language.
