Introducing KENZO-PACE: The Second Release Of The Debut Sneaker Series From Kenzo By Nigo
by Adriano Batista
Get ready to lace up because KENZO is back with the second installment of its debut sneaker series, introducing the KENZO-PACE. Designed by Artistic Director Nigo, this high-performance kick takes its inspiration from the world of running but adds a dash of high-fashion flair. It’s all about speed and style.
Launching in September 2023, the KENZO-PACE is more than just a pretty shoe. KENZO went all out, teaming up with a top-notch sneaker-making factory in Vietnam to craft a shoe that’s as authentic as they come. The upper boasts technical polyurethane combined with various mesh blends, ensuring durability and resilience.
But here’s the twist – while it’s shock-absorbing and lightweight like your typical running shoe, the ‘maximalist’ outsole means business. It’s sturdier and heavier, built to handle the hustle and bustle of urban life. The result? The KENZO-PACE is where function meets style, a perfect fusion.
Whether you’re hitting the pavement or the runway of life, the KENZO-PACE has you covered. And it’s not just for the guys; there are options for both men and women. Choose from classic all-white, all-black, silver and white, or a bold combo of blue and black for men and pink and white for women. And don’t forget the striking reflective logo details and tiger-striped outsole graphics, adding a dynamic edge to the technical prowess.
Starting in September 2023, you can snag your pair of KENZO-PACE sneakers for 390€ at KENZO stores and KENZO.COM.
Keep an eye out for more because the third drop of the KENZO by Nigo debut sneaker series is coming your way later this year. Stay tuned!
