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…
