Tom Ford to launch sneakers

Tom Ford has created his first ever line of sneakers, which come in high and low-top versions and are set to arrive in stores in the fall, according to WWD. 

There’s a choice of seven leather shades and five velvet colors, with all the models featuring rubber soles in white. Each shoe is handmade in Italy, produced with an artisan process that requires ten days of ‘resting’ for the leather while it’s shaped, as well as three days of hand polishing. 

Prices range from $690 for the velvet low-tops up to to $990 for the leather high-tops and the shoes will hit Tom Ford’s American boutiques in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas as well as the London and Milan stores in Europe. You can currently browse the sneakers on the Tom Ford website, but you’ll have to wait until later in the year to buy them.
