When you think of the classic sportswear brand Champion, “luxury” is probably not a word that comes to mind. That’s about to change. Champion teams up with the luxury sneaker brand Casbia for an intriguing new model, the AWOL ATLANTA. The shoe takes inspiration from Champion’s American basketball past, designed and crafted with the Italian brand’s aesthetic and luxe materials. The shoe features a unique asymmetrical lacing and zipper system in a mid-top cut and a basketball-sneaker-inspired sole unit. The AWOL ATLANTA is built in different materials for each of the three colorways, with the grey version in nubuck, the white version in full-grain calf leather with gold detailing, and the all-black version in solid and perforated leather paneling.
The Champion x Casbia AWOL ATLANTA is available now at finer sneaker shops around the globe, including Kith.
