NIGO x KENZO: KENZO-DOME Leather Trainers

NIGO x KENZO: KENZO-DOME Leather Trainers

NIGO, who was appointed artistic director of KENZO in 2021, has not released a sneaker design under his own name at the fashion house KENZO until now. However, the wait is finally over as he introduces the "KENZO-DOME." This shoe draws inspiration from the skateboarding culture of the mid-90s and its name is a reference to the popular skating spot in Paris known as the Dôme in Palais de Tokyo.

The streetwear look of these 'KENZO Dome' trainers is a prime example of Nigo's fascination with street culture and the hip-hop scene of the 80s. The design really seeks to recreate the classic skate shoe of the 90s. The suede leather uppers contrast with the two-tone sole offering a minimalist look.
