A new brand out of New York called Number 288 is releasing only its second collection of footwear with styles to help you stunt this spring and summer.
Number 288 offers classic silhouettes, like the runner and high-top, with a focus on high-quality materials and unique details. The footwear comes in ponyhair, nubuck leather from Italy and Portugal, and suede. The kicks features vulcanized rubber soles, asymmetric lacing, and branding hand-stitched in Roman numerals, II VIII VIII, on the back of each shoe.
The designers behind the brand, Jung Suh and Benyam Assefa, hail from South Korea and Ethiopia, respectively, and bring the influence of their international travels, to places like New York, Paris and Tokyo, to this collection. In an interview with LN-CC, the designers said they wanted to "[create] something new by crossing boundaries. We respect the traditional methods of footwear construction, as well as mixing our original ideas in producing evolutionary craftsmanship."
You can shop the collection exclusively at LN-CC now.
