Another week, another fucking collaboration. Makes you wonder if no one works alone anymore. Some of these capsule collections are amazing, others feel like a lame marketing ploy with product they could have come up with on their own. Most of these collaborations fall somewhere in the middle – Pigalle x Nike is no different. Amazing kicks, mediocre clothing.
Sitting somewhere in the overcrowded niche market between high-tech sportswear and luxurious fashion, that every brand seems to occupy these days, the Pigalle trainers feature high fashion patina leather and a “thicker sole with extra layers and lunar insole cushioning for comfort and knee protection.” I love everything aged, apparently the aged leather look “symbolizes the used and scuffed trainers worn by players on basketball courts.”
The collection drops at Dover Street Market on April 26.
