Combining French sartorial tradition with Italian craftsmanship, Philippe Model presents its newest footwear model in three striking tonal colorways.
Officially dubbed "Noah," the low-top sneaker is part of the label's upcoming Fall/Winter 2016 collection, which drops June later this year. In terms of pure features, the sneaker is crafted from a leather upper, textured with a dappled deerskin effect. The midsole continues this theme, while a contrasting serrated white outsole giving the silhouette a decidedly edgy, subtle aggressive look.
The "Noah" combines established sneaker principles with subtle design nuances tailored to the urban environment, laced with metallic flourishes of gold and silver. The matching tonal laces and a rounded toe round off the clean aesthetic.
Like Philippe Model's other footwear offerings, each sneaker is constructed near Venice, in the heart or Italy's established footwear industry. Still informed by tradition, the label's construction processes remain only partially industrialized, so allowing true craftsmanship to form the bulk of the small-scale production cycle – such as the cutting of the hides, and the manual construction of the shoe's sole.
Priced at $515, the Noah drops is available via Philippe Model's online store now.
