help your help: generic surplus & arkitip for ace hotels



Generic surplus and Arkitip design magazine got together to create some limited footwear to commemorate the inaugural summmer season of the new Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. To combat the dry desert heat the collabo sneaker uses a specially designed mesh material that is also quick drying and non-slip to aid the feet Garçons working pool-side. The shoe and tote bag (made of the same meshyness) are part of an on-going collaboration between Generic Surplus and Arkitip. A co-design with some practicality and purpose built into it is a welcome sight.




You can pre-order through the Arkitip website.
