Celine defies categorisation with its latest Runner sneaker

 
Celine defies categorisation with its latest Runner sneaker

It’s genre-bending, it’s timeless, it’s the new Celine Runner.

Celine injects a hefty dose of 1990s nostalgia into its latest footwear proposals, starting with the Celine Runner. An ode to the era’s minimalist sensibilities, these logo-appliquéd leather kicks with its clean lines captures effortlessly a way to dress that defies categorisation. These new edition comes in tandem with the way luxury continues to be addressed subtly amongst today’s high-fashion houses, where most would favour items that defies categorisation.

But to dial things down for Celine means looking beyond the exterior of the product, but also towards the experience. For them, simplifying its codes results in crafting an upper made with buttery-soft leather that helps transform each step into a discreetly opulent experience — a feature often overlooked when it comes to luxury sneakers. The only disruption, however, to the clean aesthetic comes in the signature Triomphe emblem, a whisper-light reminder that is, too, not in-your-face.
