A Sleek, Stylish Design Concealing the Laces

Developed for the SUMMER 20 collection, the "ZEN" draws inspiration from footwear worn by martial artists, football players, and those who enjoy casual sports.

Moving away from the thick soles and athletic-tech indicators seen in previous releases like "Triple S" and "Track," these sneakers feature a striking design with lightweight, thin rubber soles.

Crafted from quilted, leather-free materials, the design conceals the logo-embossed tongue and laces behind it, further emphasizing the minimalist silhouette.
Available in two finishes: matte and patent. The colorways include white x black, black, gray, and red x black. The patent finish is exclusively in black.
