Sorayama is renowned for his futuristic art style, which often features realistic depictions of metal, leather, latex, and water applied to various robotic forms. For his footwear collection with British Knights, he tackles the challenge of translating this aesthetic onto two classic sneakers. Both the Control Mid and Control Hi are reimagined with reflective, metallic materials: the Mid with a robotic silver accented by lush suede sections, and the Hi with a similar silver surrounded by rose gold detailing. Both models feature debossed branding.
The Control Mid will retail for $130 USD while the Control Hi will retail for $150 USD.
BAIT LA is located on 7708 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046. RSVP for the event by contacting RSVP@BAITme.com.
