Axel Arigato has unveiled its latest sneaker collection, the Onyx, spanning men’s and women’s lines. The Onyx draws inspiration from the timeless silhouettes of the ’80s and ’90s basketball footwear, reimagined by the in-house design team to establish a contemporary cultural footwear icon.
In creating the Onyx, Axel Arigato sought to blend elements from the worlds of basketball and music subcultures — design principles deeply ingrained in the brand’s DNA.
The Onyx incorporates shapes, structures and materials synonymous with this cultural movement. Boasting a broader profile and a thicker sole, the Onyx is crafted from a supple, premium semi-analine leather, seamlessly combining mesh, lycra and polyester to produce a truly modern, high-end sneaker.
The Onyx’s notable features include a molded rubber basketball ARIGATO graphic on the tongue, accompanied by an EST.2014 branding at the heel. Branded touchpoints adorn the sole unit and the side profile of the laces, while a tongue lace eye-stay pays homage to classic basketball detailing.
The Onyx is available in white/beige and white/green for both men and women, with white/maroon for men and white/pink for women. Retailing at $365, the Onyx releases on March 15, 2024, at AxelArigato.com at Axel Arigato locations.
