The NEPENTHES’ New York-based label Engineered Garments has partnered with the iconic Los Angeles shoemaker, K-Swiss, for its most latest foray into footwear. The unisex collection is a contemporary iteration of the K-Swiss Classic GT model, first released in 1966. The models elevated by the utilitarian signature of Engineered Garments and the classic minimalism of K-Swiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daiki Suzuki, the founder and creative director of Engineered Garments, says that he became a fan since he first saw K-Swiss in the 1980s while working at a store in Tokyo. Suzuki adds that his favorite car from the era is honored in the brown Classic GT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Engineered Garments x K-Swiss Classic GT is available in three hues and embodies the Japanese brand’s love of asymmetry by way of the reimagined cuts and materials. Case in point: the use of several D-rings and the combination of leather and suede in the uppers’ construction are two prominent examples of the investigation of asymmetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor K-Swiss it was an honor to collaborate with Engineered Garments\u2014a brand that, just as ours, seeks to elevate designs, posing the question of how to redefine a Classic,\u201d said Senior Designer of Collaborations, Jon Tang. \u201cThis collaboration speaks to our identity, to push the limits of what elevated Classics can be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ll be available at the two parties’ webstores and select retailers from 12 May with an RRP of US$115.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
