Hermès has always gone beyond the arena–and so has the Hermès man. The men’s autumn/winter 2018 collection conceived by Véronique Nichanian, artistic director of the Hermès men’s universe, equips him for the journey of a lifetime. The collection has found its feet in modern travel, inspired by the Equestrian universe yet thrust forward by horsepower by the hundreds.
The new Hermès man sneakers appear aerodynamic, whether you’re on a jet plane or on a basketball court—they take you closer to the skies.
Player sneaker (in Kaki/Noir, Noir/Bleu royal/Noir, and Noir/noir) is a high-top style in technical canvas and calfskin with fixed laces for seamless slip-on wear. Its colorways imbibe the pops of color of “Endless Road” in cobalt and coal.Run sneaker (in Noir) in technical canvas and calfskin secures the feet with an elastic band and the palladium-finish City Slide buckle for seamless slip-on wear.Starter sneaker (in Noir) is a combination of mesh and suede goatskin with leather “H” detail and fixed laces for slip-on wear, lined with technical canvas.
Meanwhile, the loafers provide a contrast to the collection’s generous wrap-around and layered silhouettes in punctuating brightness and shine. A paradoxical experience: simplicity conceals complexity. Made for movement, and in perfect context with the dance floor.
Inspired by the Equestrian universe is the Sydney loafer (in Bordeaux), a style that’s a nod to the House’s roots. The Sydney is made of calfskin with palladium plated hardware and the playful pop of its orange leather sole.The Kennedy loafer (in Noir/Etain) in contrasting Tuscan and Epsom calfskin with a hand-stitched “H” apron.The Russel loafer (in Noir), differentiated by the tips of its tongue calling to mind the ends of a fringe, topped off by an abstract-style apron.
The ready-to-wear collection is available at the Greenbelt 3 store in Makati City.
