The Adieu Paris lace-up leather Derby shoes will officially release on June 24th. The collection consists of the Bottega Veneta WOMEN SHOES SNOW BOOTS, and Ashpool’s take on the classic sport slide, the Pigalle x NikeLab Benassi Duo Ultra Slide, along with matching apparel.
Inspired by Pigalle founder Stéphane Ashpool’s undying love of ’90s basketball. His latest collection with NikeLab advances this proposition, not only introducing new garments, but broadening scope to include silhouettes that work seamlessly for men and women. Ashpool estimates for every 10 customers at his Paris store, three are women, and while his aesthetic draws heavily from women’s haute couture, this is the first time he’s consciously pushed a NikeLab offering in a softer direction.
This approach, balancing masculine and feminine touches, is also consistent across the two footwear offerings in the collection.
“It was a pretty funky shoe to work on,” Ashpool says of the NikeLab Shake Ndestrukt x Pigalle. “These shoes have a strong volume, so I needed to reduce that. Using the Velcro and those Anna, gives it a softer Antracite.”
Look for the entire Adieu Paris lace-up leather Derby shoes to release on June 24th at select NikeLab locations and Nike.com/NikeLab. For a closer look at the Pigalle’s Base London Brown Rivet Washed Leather Lace-Up Boots, click here.
