We have already previewed the ellesse Fab Five collaborations with Sneakersnstuff, Harvey Nichols and colette. Next up is the involvement with Zurich based boutique Grand.

Grand presents The Levanto, a hiking boot inspired low top sneaker. D-rings and ski boot lacing system are only two hints at the hiking inspiration of the brown/red sneaker.The outer sole matches the upper and the lining matches the laces. Staying true to the theme, the sneaker will release with a pair of hiking socks, on September 15th, along with all the other Fab Five collaborations.

A while back we reported about the new Swiss sneaker show Sneakerness. Lots of great projects had been completed for the event, including the Nike x Plus41 x Grotesk Air Force 1 and the Double Goose x Art Force One pack. Today we show you the new Grand x Sneakerness Collection, a small capsule clothing line that of course evolves around the topic of sneakers.

Of course we have seen endless t-shirts and graphics that play with the sneaker theme. Nevertheless Zurich store Grand and Sneakerness did it a little different. The all cut-and-sew collection consists of jackets, hoodies and t-shirts for both men and women. Laces have been incorporated in almost all pieces, including the t-shirts. The outcome is certainly interesting. Also all pieces have a lace lock incorporated that can be taken off and added to your sneakers. All in all a clever collection around the topic of sneakers.

Take a more detailed look at the Grand x Sneakerness Collection after the jump.
