Marni Banana
Sock Boot
Inspired by—no joke—Disney
cartoons, Marni’s Francesco
Risso finds the fantastical in
well-worn menswear staples.
Take the sneaker sock (or
“snocker”): Risso’s new
creation “evokes an amplified
banana,” he says, proving
that the freshest footwear
can come from anywhere—
even the grocery store.
Sneakers, $690, by
Marni. Pants, $395,
by Homme Plissé
Issey Miyake.
Gucci Ultrapace
When Alessandro Michele
introduced heavy hiking
boot–sneaker hybrids into
the Gucci universe, he turned
gorp-core into a full-scale
fashion revolution. Now
he’s run a just-add-leg-
warmers sneaker from the
’80s through his baroque,
maximalist playhouse.
With four different Gucci
logos, the result is the
perfect pair of kicks for the
sport that is fashion.
Sneakers, $870, by
Gucci. Shirt, $540,
by Junya Watanabe.
Track pants, $378,
by John Elliott.
Socks, $18, by Tabio.
Ankle bracelets,
stylist’s own.

Zoom Terra Kiger 5
What do you do after you
deconstruct Nike’s
ten most iconic silhouettes?
If you’re Virgil Abloh, you
hit the track, pulling vibes
from some of the world’s
fastest runners—like Caster
Semenya—for his next
Off-White collab with the
Swoosh. And sure, your pair
will look cool on Instagram,
but they’re built for more
than that: Abloh wants you to
train in them, too.
