STPL x Airwalk ‘Terrain’- Payless Collection
Jeff Staple and his STPL brand are responsible for some highly sought after and much discussed sneakers with companies such as Nike, New Balance and Fila, remember those Staple x Fila Ninety6 sneakers?
One of Jeff’s latest projects includes a collaboration with Airwalk on a lineup of footwear for men and women which is to be sold exclusively at Payless. When news first surfaced about this acouple months ago a lot of people were shocked, not at the fact hes collaborating with Airwalk cause we have seen the Star Trek x STPL x Airwalk collaboration before, but mainly shocked due to the fact it was for a line to be sold at Payless. We’re just gonna say business is business and leave it at that.
With that being said we give you a first hand look at one of the STPL x Airwalk sneakers which will be sold at Payless. This high top design known at the Terrain is one of four models which Jeff Staple has designed as part of the Airwalk lineup for Payless. They feature a brown upper with a black midsole and a black Airwalk running man logo on the side of the upper. Surprisingly there isnt much Staple branding on the sneakers themselves. The box has the STPL x Airwalk hit a few time but for the sneakers themselves theres a small STPL tag near the ankle of the left sneaker while the right sneaker has an Airwalk tag. Theres also a STPL x Airwalk hit on the insoles.
No official release date at this time has been announced but we can tell you they will be around $50 and they will be sold exclusively at Payless. There will be 4 styles for the men and 4 styles for the women. More detailed pictures follow after the jump.
