RKNS (SNKR PLATINUM)

After the successful launch of SNKR Project, we created a higher priced line to appeal to a different demographic of sneaker heads. After many ideas and conceptual discussions, I came up with the idea of “RKNS” (SNKR spelled backwards as a working name that eventually became SNKR PLATINUM).

The concept I set out to accomplish was to create a small collection of sport specific sneakers with the best materials and components on the market. I decided on road running (RNR), trail running (TRL) and indoor soccer (SCCR) to launch. I used Italian leathers and stretch goat leather on the uppers, the interior was a strategically placed calf leather collar, and 360 degrees of outlast temperature regulating linings. A multi layer ergonomic Ortholite footbed complimented the lux feel of these sneakers

I picked 2 technical Vibram outsoles for the trail runner and road running sneakers and used an Italian sole Maker Gommus for the indoor soccer outsole.
