A fusion of high fashion and everyday footwear, Schiaparelli has launched it’s first-ever sneaker. The luxury fashion house first revealed the shoe at its ready-to-wear runway show in Paris last September, and it’s now available to shop on the Schiaparelli website.
Titled the Pour le Sport, or trompe l’oeil sneaker, the whimsical creation features an ecru canvas high-top design, adorned with Schiaparelli’s signature golden accents: golden trompe l’oeil toes and gilded eyelets, along with the brand’s irregular measuring tape motif that delicately wraps around the edges of the shoe, and a trompe l’oeil footprint emblazoned underneath the sole.
Under the vision of creative director Daniel Roseberry since 2019, the designer has managed to reinterpret the house’s avant-garde creations for a new generation, establishing Schiaparelli as a contemporary household name.
Now, with its debut sneaker silhouette, the brand is dipping a (golden) toe into streetwear culture, with a design that resembles the Converse Chuck Taylor.
“It’s the fantasy of couture made for the street,” Daniel said in a statement on Friday. “This sneaker is particularly meaningful to me because it symbolises what I am: an American in Paris.
“It embodies the meeting of two worlds: American comfort and the rigor of French chic.”
With the fashion house releasing up-close, and detailed shots on the sneakers on Instagram, the luxury sartorial set are vying to get their hands on the one-of-a-kind item.
