Alaïa is giving Superga a haute couture makeover thanks to the duo’s new fashion collaboration.
Drafted by creative director Pieter Mulier, the limited-edition collection transforms the Italian sneaker brand’s two styles in Alaïa style, inspired by their shared love of simple fit and clean lines. The first is the shoe brand’s low-top Superga 2790 sneaker, featuring a monochrome white canvas upper with Alaïa’s signature geometric “Double A” stitching. Completing the $510 suit is a thick platform sole.
Likewise, the $710 black version has the same sole and detailing, as well as a little edge on the reptile-print leather upper. Each shoe features a co-branded satin tab, silver eyelets and a leather insole.
However, the duo’s collaboration also includes modifications to the Superga 2750 sneaker. With a shorter sole than the 2790, this low-top silhouette features a similar brand’s white canvas suit with asymmetric top stitching and retails for $460. A monochrome black version featuring the same reptile leather upper as its platform cousin, it retails for $650.
Although the release is a limited edition, there is more exciting news to come: a collaboration is underway and new styles will be released in spring 2023.
The limited-edition Alaïa x Superga collaboration is now available in Alaïa stores and on the brand’s website.
