Discover Achilles Ion Gabriel

The high end minimalist sneaker market seems crowded with not much to say for itself.  A sea of brands producing similar shoes at similar price point. It seems perfectly palatable yet bland at the same time. Enter Achilles Ion Gabriel.

Achilles Ion Gabriel’s SS16 sneaker lineup includes an insanely cool hybrid shoe that somehow mashes up a running shoe silhouette with traditional Chinese Geta sandals. It’s like a design clusterfuck on your feet. There’s also a great velcro-strapped number which sports some angular paneling and a tennis-style low-top with distinctive banding across the toe and heel – its hip yet orthopedic in style.

Get yourself a pair of Achilles and show the rest of those kids in their Stan Smiths how far behind the curve they really are…

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
