Alyx brings back the sock boots
The sock boot came two years ago to break the shoe market numbers. With Balenciaga and then a lot more brands to follow, it was the ‘‘it’’ boot to have for more than 3 seasons.
This year ( and after 2 seasons break) Alyx, the high-end label best known for playing outside the menswear box, has just released its ultra-luxurious take on the style—and it was certainly worth the wait.
This designer sock sneaker features a dreamy palette of whites and greys, with a few contrasting pops of darker shades. The elongated knit upper wraps snuggly up the ankle, and the futuristic silhouette sits on top of one serious treaded sole.
It was sharp of Williams and Alyx to wait for sock sneaker madness to die down before unleashing these on the world and it seems to be the right move.
Shop the boots on Farfetch.
