Available exclusively on Net-A-Porter.com as of this month, British designer Christopher Kane introduces a sneaker collection that combines fashion know-how with sports sensibilities. In signature Kane style, the sneakers embody the brand's modern and feminine traits while also retaining a flexible counterbalance perfect for women on the go.  

“My philosophy has always been to create collections and products that are new and exciting, and that challenge perceptions. For my first sneakers collection I wanted a shape that was clean and minimal, and could be worn by all ages. Balancing sportiness and fashion, they are easy to pull on with jeans or an evening dress. I really wanted to create a classic that retained a strong brand identity,” Kane.

Made in Italy, the collection includes three distinct styles such as low top with cross elastic strap, high top with cross elastic strap and a brogue low top. The low and high top are available for both men and women in neoprene and made to look as though it was created from a single piece that wraps around the foot perfectly. The brogue is offered for women-only and is introduced in signature Kane lace and navy pony skin. Of all choices, the lace edition is a favorite since it stands out from all the rest that are on the market right now.

Kane perfectly ties in his Women’s Resort 2016 collection and Men’s Spring-Summer ’16 collections into his sneaker line – once again reaffirming his brand DNA. He references prints such as tweeds and lace printed leather from the latter collections and combines it with additional neon scents. 

“We love everything that comes out of the Christopher Kane studio and this move into sneakers is no exception. When we heard about the launch we knew we had to allow our Net-A-Porter customer first access,’ said Ida Petersson, Senior Buyer at Net-A-Porter.
