PF Flyers partnered with designer Todd Snyder on a new collection, Grounder Hi-Top, featuring military canvas and leather.
The Grounder features a vintage army aesthetic with 14-ounce military canvas, a protective rubber outsole and pigskin leather lining based on an original design from the PF Flyers archives.
“I love digging through flea markets and hunting for treasures, so when I went to visit Christopher Tobias and the PF Flyers team in Boston and saw all their catalogs from the early 1900s it just blew me away,” said Snyder. “This new style is based on an amazing vintage sneaker in their archive from when they were making shoes for the military. The military has always been a huge source of inspiration for me, and when I saw that, I just knew we had to reintroduce it.”
The Grounder hits stores August 22.
