Marking the beginning of another chapter devised by one of the most celebrated creative duos of recent years.

After half a decade of building a relationship that is as solid as it is visionary, Wales Bonner is pleased to unveil a model that smells of the archive but doesn’t live in it. The low, wavy sole is subtly reminiscent of the Tokyo model, while the classic T-shaped toe evokes the spirit of the Samba, but without falling into repetition.

The Karintha thus debuts in two versions that function as dualities: the earthly and the celestial, the essential and the excessive. The first pair is presented in brown suede and three perforated stripes, while the other shines unabashedly in a sequin-laden metallic.

The delivery is accompanied by pieces that complete the British designer’s narrative: a Superstar Hi in suede; an Adilette in braided fabric and an exclusive apparel capsule. All will go on sale tomorrow, 28 May.

And speaking of sneakers… Nike and LEGO build an Air Max DN.
