Comfortable, high-performance sneakers with modern and minimal design. Reinterpretations of iconic footwear or new sneaker models that celebrate technology applied to materials. With the aim of giving a dream and becoming true “objects of desire.” To flaunt and collect. Here is a selection of sporty shoes, perfect to give at Christmas. Or to wear during the upcoming holiday season.
New Balance MRT580 ReengineeredThe 580 model, the ultimate street sneaker from New Balance in the nineties, is reintroduced in a futuristic key and made with one of the strongest trends of the upcoming season: the Jacquard technique, a process that involves the use of a highly precise frame capable of creating very complex designs by interweaving the threads one by one, giving life to absolutely unique patterns and motifs. The result? A fabric upper that harmoniously merges two nuances: black and white.
NikeLab ACG Zoom Tallac FlyknitThe sports shoe that combines the iconic Nike Flyknit material with the much celebrated design of the Nike ACG Zoom Tallac was first introduced in 2008. Today, it offers the durability of a hiking boot, combined with the flexibility of a lightweight running shoe.
Saucony Jazz O’Perfect for casual wear, this sporty shoe model is super lightweight and durable.
D’AcquaspartaThe sneaker, made of nappa leather, is available in total black color. With a contrasting white rubber sole.
adidas Originals Tubular ShadowThe premium materials used to create these new sneakers, such as natural leather and fabrics, are combined with a knitted structure ensuring comfort for the wearer. True to its name, Shadow gives the Tubular a new essential dimension. In fact, the shoe is designed for comfort, design, and aesthetics at their peak. Available from December 8th.
Reebok Classic WorkoutStraight from the Reebok archives, a classic model revisited in a modern key. This shoe has won over the public with its street & modern look. Retro details, such as the H-strap design, pay homage to the brand’s history, while the updated look adds a touch of contemporary style. The leather upper ensures softness and stability. The low-cut design, on the other hand, promotes freedom of movement.
Geox For ValemourThe collection is created by the Made In Italy brand in collaboration with the Fondazione Più di Un Sogno Onlus, committed to supporting young people with Down syndrome and their social inclusion through work opportunities and autonomy paths.
Hide&JackThese shoes from the Christmas Collection are characterized by the red sole. Made of leather and nubuck, with a special crocodile effect processing. The mix between the uppers and the hyper-colored sole is an expression of the brand’s philosophy, which reinterprets the concept of duality in a playful and contemporary way, emphasizing how each person’s way of dressing can hide a dual personality.
Asics Tiger Xmas PackThe brand presents the iconic GEL-Lyte III model in a Christmas edition, featuring red and white hues (reminiscent of snowflakes on the upper). Made of suede and mesh, with a lined interior.
Lotto Leggenda AutographAn iconic product, rich in content and capable of stirring emotions: this is the mission of the Made In Italy brand. The sneaker model in question is made of leather and embellished with a used effect applied to the upper.
Watson&ParkerThe sneaker, part of the Mutton collection, features a sheepskin leather upper, with fur and calfskin lining. The wool fabric insole is made unique thanks to the camouflage print. The shoe’s profile and trim, meanwhile, are made of buffalo leather.
Nike Air Max 97, “The Silver”To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the release of the Air Max 97 sneakers, the American sportswear brand reissues the iconic shoe model, known as Silver, which dressed entire generations of young people in the nineties and early 2000s.
