Air Max 97, Wood Wood and their quite illustrious lifestyle label continue to branch out into partnerships impactful as they’ve joined forces with industry giants prior and now the noteworthy sportswear institution ellesse. Focused on both a full range of apparel and footwear — as is exemplary of the Leonardo Servadio founded imprint — the capsule fully draws from skiing itself, or at least a more modern take on it. Cropped mountain jackets, minimal type logos, and even neoprene dresses arrive as a backdrop to the two standout Piazzas, whose colorways are neutral in connection to their collaborator’s signature style.
Dyed to match the overarching palette, the first is one wholly made up of faded blacks with seemingly distressed nubuck materials stitching atop a base of textural mesh. The lighter alternative, though largely the same in execution, bears more tonal variance as some of its panel treatments sit in a standard grey and others a barely noticeable yellow tint. Cobranded logo lockups are sparing though still quite evident, ensuring awareness through luxe emblems at the heels and insoles of an unassuming screen print.
