(FILA North America) - February 12, 2021 - FILA, the iconic sportstyle brand, and KROST, a NY-based streetwear label, have teamed up to unveil a limited-edition footwear design: KROST x FILA Renno.
The collaboration marks the introduction of the Renno, FILA’s newest footwear silhouette. The innovative design combines nods from FILA’s running and performance history with present-day streetwear designs while maintaining the sharp clean aesthetic inherent to KROST.
Designed in a navy/white/gray colorway, the KROST x FILA Renno was crafted in recycled leather, mixed with materials including nylon, suede, and ripstop mesh. The sneaker is anchored by FILA’s Energized midsole cushioning for added comfort and completed with a mesh-covered midsole.
KROST’s “Support Your Friends” moniker is featured on the back heel and sock liner. Additional logo hits, which are new to the Renno silhouette, appear on the tongue and midsole.
The collaboration footwear is highlighted in a unique campaign developed by Samuel Krost, which features activists committed to resolving various social issues from seven different organizations such as Food Bank for New York, BK Community Fridges, March For Our Lives, The National Alliance on Mental Illness, Stomp Out Bullying, Encourage Kids Foundation, Freedom March NYC,
KROST highlighted individuals who are making a real difference through their advocacy, activism, and various grassroots level initiatives. KROST believes that the progressiveness and success of our society can only be achieved through the unconditional support of our friends. The collaboration aims to support each organization through 10% of KROST x FILA Renno sale proceeds as the support of community organizations is a key tenet of KROST’s ethos.
The KROST x FILA Renno is limited to 100 pairs. Priced at $118, the footwear is available exclusively on krostnewyork.com beginning on February 12.
