Patta And Mizuno Bring Back The Sky Medal_Stride into Fashions Embrace

Maximalist silhouettes are unquestionably the hottest trend in sneakers this summer, and Mizuno—a brand known almost entirely for their performance running models—has been enjoying a moment in the style spotlight with their classic Wave Rider. Now, the Japanese brand is ready to re-introduce another classic sneaker, as the OG Sky Medal trainer is returning this month in collaboration with none other than Patta.

The Amsterdam-based brand’s refined touch is immediately apparent on the collaborative sneaker, as the upper arrives in a clean combination of white mesh and grey suede while Mizuno’s classic flowing Runbird symbol is dressed in burnt orange. A premium black leather is used for the co-branded tongue—which features orange Patta and light purple Mizuno embroidery—the sockliner and co-branded insole feature the same premium black leather, and the re-worked classic is completed with a sail-colored midsole. Look for this special Sky Medal to release August 11th, both at Patta’s retail locations and on their website.
