Union Jack Sneakers by MINI

August 2, 2011 in Lifestyles

We’ve just got some awesome new from our good friends over at SX Media in the UK. Here is the latest from the drop from “MINI Lifestyle”. Presenting the all new “Union Jack Sneakers”. Definitely a one of a kind pair of kicks. Feel free to share you inputs.

The new sneakers from the MINI Lifestyle Collection bring the Union Jack look onto the pavement in true British style. These sports shoes come with an unmistakable MINI signature and are set to delight not only die-hard fans of the brand but also anyone with a keen eye for style. In May, sports shoe enthusiasts were able to glean a first impression of this unique model at the SNEAKERNESS in Cologne, Europe’s biggest sneaker convention.

The MINI Union Jack Sneakers are hi-tops and come in classic blue with soles and laces in contrasting white. Fashionable Union Jack details add attractive highlights, with the flag printed on the heel cap and along the shoelace eyelets. The Union Jack profile at the front and back of the sole ensures that these sneakers will leave behind a distinctly British footprint: MINI was here!

The upper material is water weather-repellent canvas, guaranteeing dry feet should the weather put a damper on things, while the silver eyelets for the laces lend the sneakers a retro look. Discreet branding reflects the hallmark MINI understatement, with MINI logos on the outside of the left shoe, the back of the sole and the inside of the tongue. “Beat the street” lettering on the insole of the right shoe adds another catchy detail.

The MINI Union Jack Sneakers will be available from September 2011 on the internet at www.MINI.com/shop and from all MINI dealerships, priced £67. Those keen to size up the shoes before then will have an opportunity to do so at the upcoming SNEAKERNESS conventions in Zurich on 18 June and in Amsterdam on 27 August. via – sxmedia
