Shoe designers often find inspiration in the most unordinary of places. Take this Spring/Summer 2010 sneaker from John Galliano Homme. Inspired by the military campaign of Napoleon Bonaparte against Egypt in 1798, the shoe is both unique and testament to design.
The high stop sneaker comes in three colorways, teal/orange/black, black/white, and blue/yellow/black, and is constructed of leather, patent leather, and mesh. Throughout the upper, the contrasting colors show the design details in the stitching as well as the vision of the designer. The ankles carry a lot of the weight of the design, as they are left wide open with only a slight bit of pipping cover the top. Finally, a white outsole solidifies the design and creates a shoe that has it’s own character and represents a time long forgotten. They are currently available at selective boutiques around the world, including RESTIR of Tokyo.
