black textured cotton in a sneaker is the proposition that makes the most familiar of all casual colours genuinely interesting for the first time — and in kiton's hands, it makes it interesting at the level of quality that the colour has always deserved but rarely received in a casual shoe upper. the texture does for black what it does for every colour it carries — but for black, the effect is particularly compelling. black is a colour that can flatten in an undistinguished fabric, becoming merely dark rather than genuinely deep. in textured cotton from kiton, it acquires a surface dimension that prevents any reading of flatness: the raised weave makes it vivid, the recessed weave makes it rich, and the combination of the two in a natural cotton selected for its quality produces a black that has genuine depth — the depth of a colour present in the grain of a natural fibre rather than sitting on the surface of a processed one. the elastane makes the shoe entirely liveable. not a weekend choice saved for the right conditions but a daily companion — as reliable and as comfortable on the hundredth wearing as on the first, adapted to the foot and performing without friction through every demand that daily life places on it. kiton's construction provides the final element: the standard maintained without reduction, the proportions considered, the quality consistent throughout. a black textured cotton sneaker that carries the kiton name because it is made to the kiton standard — every detail, without exception. for the man who finds that black, given the right surface, is the most interesting colour in his wardrobe. available on mrpianik.it at discounts from 60% off boutique retail price. black, textured cotton, elastane — depth, not just darkness.
