sankuanz designer shangguan zhe has graced the sneaker world with a ‘shoe for shoes’ they didn’t even know they needed. the sneaker protector is a hybrid fashion phenomenon living somewhere between a galosh and a sandal, and was unveiled as part of the brand’s men’s fall 2018 collection.

the shoe made its debut during paris men’s fashion week amongst a collection of oversized high-performance wear in an array of colours, prints and patterns. we can’t say the idea is somewhat expected but it is befitting of sankuanz‘s utilitarian attitude.
