“As a kid, I was always into sneakers and footwear,” he recalled. “Jordans and skate shoes were always my go-to as a teenager.”
The designer previously released a collaboration with Umbro on sneakers and said he was inspired by “a particular U.K. style of dress and was after the idea of designing something generic.”
