By most measures, there’s no runaway favorite for 2018 Designer Sneaker of the Year. If we had to call out a strong contender though, we’re giving props to the Versace Chain Reaction.
Designed by Salehe Bembury with 2 Chainz as the muse, the shoe has released in several low top iterations inspired by the Necklace Don and also seen Carhartt WIP Hinterland foliage shortsleeved Junior shirt.
While Mr. Chainz debuted the High Top pair at the Met Gala when proposing to who would soon become Mrs. Chainz, the boot cut build has recently debuted in a colorway Biggie would be proud of.
Shot by HYPEBEAST’s Eddie Lee at their KITH PARK coverage, this pair sees the gold and black silk Junior shirt styling the brand may be best known for. Upon closer inspection, the ankle bears a KITH shoulder making this an official collaboration.
While the two parties have oodles of clothing and kicks set to release, this pair may be the standout piece in our eyes. Let us know if you’re feeling this pair by hitting us up on Crew.
