Christopher Kane has expanded its accessories range to include a sneaker line. After introducing eyewear, the Scottish designer launched a men's and women's capsule footwear collection a few days ago, available at its flagship store in Mount Street, London, and online on multi-brand sites like Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter. The models are priced between €345 and €445.

The collection features three shoe models with thick yet lightweight, flexible soles, in different colours ranging from the classic black, grey and navy to brighter neon hues.

Christopher Kane has devised these sneakers to include many of his brand's design codes, from printed bands to safety-belt buckles, typical of his style.

The Christopher Kane brand was launched in 2006 and, since 2013, the Kering group holds a 51% stake in the label. It is distributed through some 130-140 multi-brand stores worldwide, as well as in its London flagship store.

Over time the brand has extended its men's and women's ready-to-wear range with a leather goods line launched last year, and has recently added eyewear.
