Luxury cognac maker Hennessy has entered the realm of fashion through a collaboration with British designer Kim Jones in the form of a sneaker. The project is the coming together of Hennessy X.O?s 150-year heritage and the fashion designer?s creative vision. Apart from the spirit maker?s first pair of sneakers, it also features an X.O Masterpiece decanter and a limited-edition bottle.
The pair of HNY Low sneakers was crafted in LVMH?s shoe factory in Italy and Jones was inspired by early basketball shoes. To draw reference to the X.O?s signature hue, the shoes also took on a similar shade in nubuck leather, a material that takes on a patina as it ages and a reference to the precious eaux-de-vie. According to Jones, he describes the footwear as ?a glass of cognac in sneaker form?. On the underside of its rubber sole, an imprint of cognac grape vines and the Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones logos could also be seen. Elsewhere, on the sneakers? heel, Jones? initials ?KJ? and the Hennessey bras armé emblem are discreetly adorned.
