LOEWE has announced the release of their SS16 sneaker, which was previewed earlier this year in the brand’s SS16 campaign.
The sneaker’s bowling-shoe form, paired with distinct ‘galaxy’ motifs from the ready-to-wear collection and block-colours, fit aptly with LOEWE’s slick new aesthetic spearheaded by British designer, Jonathan Anderson.
“I wanted the first LOEWE sneaker to be young, easy and fun,” Anderson explained, “but also for it to have a collectible edge.”
LOEWE is an eminent expert in leather-based craftmanship. These same standards have been applied attentively: extra-soft insoles; hand-painted edges; perforated side-panels – all made in the the house’s signature ‘oro suede’, and calf-leathers.
