The soul of a pattern only emerges after it has been sewn together in the best possible way. It takes professionals time and patience before they can sew a shoe correctly, but when they master it, the soul of the silhouette is revealed.
The key to this process is the use of fibers in the form of thread. Photographer Bram Spaan focuses on its importance in shoemaking and protects the strength and flexibility it provides by attaching matching colored fabrics to the two Fusion 2.0s. By holding them in position he links the concept of shape and the importance of a correctly stitched upper.
Combining premium suede with mesh, the pairs feature some eye-catching finishes such as 3M detailing on the toe box, the “Finnsport” slogan on the side of the back, as well as 3M threading along the center panels. The sneaker features a full-length Fulcrum sole that encourages a smooth ride.
