Sneaker News Under the direction of Los Angeles-based creative Anwar Carrots, K-Swiss’s new Racquet Club premium line has been turning out some of the brand’s most compelling product in recent memory, pairing Anwar’s refined lens with a deep dive into the K-Swiss archive for outputs that feel hip yet timeless all at once.
The third KSRC installment introduces a new silhouette to the series: the wonderfully chunky GSTAAD model from 1986. Two fall-friendly styles are set to release, starting with a brown hairy-suede pair featuring an orange sock liner and green piping on the tongue. The other takes after a leaf ready to fall, blending compelling shades of yellow and orange suede with brown hits on the tongue and lining.
As for the rest of the lineup, three models from previous collections are also given autumnal palettes, echoing the larger “Foliage” theme at play. The Before The Classic stands out with chocolatey brown suede and contrasting white leather stripes, while The Classic 66 appears in a rich green leather, perhaps a nod to the ever-present pine. The Konejo silhouette, a reimagined 2000s-era runner, acts as something of a reflection of the entire lineup, using its layered mixed-media upper to showcase nearly all the colors seen across the other models.
The third installment of KSRC releases through the K-Swiss website on Friday, November 28th, with pricing as follows: Before The Classic ($120), Konejo ($135), Classic 66 ($120), and GSTAAD ($130). See official images of each sneaker below if you’re planning to cop.
