The initiative continues its role as a platform for elevated collaborations, and this season sees Taiwanese retailer return with a fashion-forward spin on the , merging stripped-back design with carefully crafted, artisanal touches.

The iconic silhouette is given a low-key revamp in two key colourways: clean white and worn-in black. Both pairs come in a vintage aesthetic thanks to the distressed rough-cut panels, soft suede hits and a pre-aged feel throughout. The usual stripes are swapped for perforations (nodding to the Stan Smith) while oversized panels and jagged edges add a bit of character. The white option keeps things crisp with smooth leather all over, while the black pair mixes in cracked leather for contrast.
