Last October, Givenchy’s Creative Director Matthew Williams brought the brand’s first physical fashion show since taking office, with a new shoe design appearing in the SS22 collection, a futuristic one-piece TK-360 shoe inspired by traditional clogs. This July, the brand officially launched the shoe and presented a 3D animated video of the 2022 early autumn collection TK-360 men’s sports shoes, deconstructing this distinctive design in front of all brand enthusiasts.
Made with a revolutionary one-piece molded structure, the original sports shoe TK-360 is constructed with a full knitting structure and made with cutting-edge technology, its avant-garde appearance and bold lines further highlight MMW’s brand concept of breaking conventions. Before its debut at the SS22 show, MMW revealed that it spent two years conceptualizing, collecting data, and conducting research and development with the team, collaborating with the well-known American synthetic fiber material company Kevlar, while molding TPU to match the unique design of the heel. The classic elastic knitted upper and sole are fully integrated, meaning the knitted part will directly contact the ground, and the GIVENCHY brand logo is simply embroidered on the heel, creating a subtle and delicate texture combination.
In addition to the brand’s specially created TK-360 structural animation, the brand also intentionally invited a group of local emerging singers and actors to interpret TK-360, inviting MC Zhang Tianfu, Ke Weilin, TIAB, Lewsz, and Matt Force, and showcasing different styles under the clear sky’s flowing scaffolding and highly industrial background, while echoing and highlighting the avant-garde lines of TK-360 and Matthew M. Williams’ creative philosophy.
The new Givenchy 2022 early autumn series sneakers TK-360 will first be available in classic black or white, followed by seasonal limited edition options such as fluorescent yellow, carbon gray, light brown, deep blue, and light pink. The TK-360 sneakers are now available globally at selected stores and websites, priced at HKD 7,890.
