Progressive practicality meets tradition and craftsmanship with the new ZEGNA X MRBAILEY® Triple StitchTM Sneaker.
The Triple StitchTM Sneaker is part of the new ZEGNA identity, where progressive practicality meets tradition and craftsmanship: creating a new a new language of style around the concept of Luxury Leisurewear.
First seen at the house’s Summer 2023 Fashion Show, ZEGNA recently launches the new Triple Stitch™ Sneaker as a part of their Fall/Winter 22 Outdoor collection. With a partnership like no other, ZEGNA Artistic Director Alessandro Sartori united with London-based footwear designer Daniel Bailey, the visionary founder of footwear-design studio CONCEPTKICKS® — better known as MRBAILEY®. This Italian menswear label continues to reinvent progressive practicality and uphold its philosophy of tradition and craftsmanship.
The Triple StitchTM Sneaker is available in ZEGNA’s signature Vicuña colour, Black, White and Grey.
Though the Triple Stitch™ Sneaker may look traditionally vulcanised, it is actually a single piece of leather that has been triple-wrapped around the shoe to create a leather foxing. Featuring a carbonised-inspired finish that draws from yakisugi — a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation, the sneakers are available in four colours: Black, White, Grey and ZEGNA’s signature Vicuña colour. With accented namesake triple-crossing details, the lightweight style is set on a hand-applied wraparound midsole and finessed with a removable insole for exceptional comfort making it the ideal show for roaming the landscape.
The collaboration between the two creatives is a true balance of contemporary product engineering and traditional luxury sentiment. Luxury materials match perfectly with up-to-date accomplishments which redefined construction while preserving Zegna’s classic Triple Stitch footwear silhouette.
This collaboration is based on a unique footwear-crafting process and is an unprecedented experiment in which luxury materials match perfectly with up-to-date accomplishments. “Collaborations to me need to be the result of creative minds working and thinking together. “- Alessandro Sartori, ZEGNA Artistic Director.
The Triple StitchTM MRBAILEY® Sneakers in Black have been exclusively launched in-store and online by Kith for the USA, France and Japan. A launch will take place in China this December.
The collection will be available in selected international ZEGNA stores, on zegna.com and with selected wholesalers from early January 2023.
In addition, Zegna’s Fall/Winter 22 Outdoor Collection met a partnership with some of the most esteemed names in the sport and performance such as La Sportiva, Garmin, zai, TSL, Sigg and KASK. Explore the collection here.
