Kiko Kostadinov unveils its latest footwear design in the form of the Zlatyu sneaker and it comes in two colorway palettes of Hickory or Verdant. The hybrid highlights the designer's kitsch themes along with sporty undertones throughout the silhouette as well.
It sits on top of the sole unit that is borrowed from the ASICS GEL=KAYANO 14 shoe. It is also made with GEL cushioning for comfort in a contrasting color. Along the upper, it is made from leather materials and detailed with hexagonal grid patterning in an embossed application. It is contrasted with an eyestay placket that is slightly raised for textural contrast. It is rounded out by textured rope laces over the forefoot across both colorways.
