It has now been well documented that the pandemic is pushing us towards buying investment pieces. SSENSE’s new drop includes two soon to be iconic pieces of footwear that are perfect pieces to invest in right now. Adidas have just launched their collaboration with Prada, and Timberland have launched a collaboration with Jimmy Choo. Here’s everything you need to know.
Boot season is well and truly stomping its way towards us. Timberland, which have previously collared with Off-White and Supreme The boots are perfect for pandemic dressing, adding a level of model chic to any outfit that you throw on. And if you needed any more reason to get obsessed with these pieces, Timberland are going to be planting a tree for every pair of boots purchased.
The boots come in three styles, two of the designs are in the classic Timberland beige tone, one bears a crystal collar and the other is embossed with gold glitter. My personal favourite is the black boot with gunmetal glitter, which screams chic.
Meanwhile, Prada for Adidas reimagines Adidas’s iconic Superstar trainers. The trainers come in three different colours, black, white and black, and chrome silver and white. This is the second time the two labels have collaborated.
The sneakers come in full grain leather uppers with the Prada logo embossed on the tongue, insole and rear quarter. This is paired with bold Adidas branding at the tongue and heel, as well as the signature three stripes which are on the sidewalls. The trainers have been crafted at Prada’s Montegranaro facility in Italy, where roughly 100 employees have hand guided each pair of sneakers through a process which induces 100 steps. These new sneakers amalgamate the classic aesthetics with a chic on trend revamping. The two brands are a match made in icon heaven, and the sneakers are guaranteed to be coveted by everyone.
