Paris Fashion Week is here, and New York fashion label Vaquera NYC wasted no time bringing out the week’s first sneaker collab. In a runway show that featured snakeskin looks, graphic-heavy designs, and a CDG collab perfume, the sneakerhead standout was a new Nike Air Max DN8 with clear references to one of Paris’ most famed collabs.
The Vaquera NYC x Nike Air Max DN8 is a white sneaker covered in all-over print lipstick kisses in bright red, like the collar of a classic white button-up shirt tainted by an after-work affair. The shoe features patent leather across the upper for a bit of extra sheen, with clear Dynamic Air units underfoot. Vaquera branding is front and center on the tongue in black script, with Air Max written beneath it.
