Patrick Mohr & K1X
the legacy continues
After releasing the Mk3 sneaker last year, the Mk2 around two years ago and the Mk1 three years ago, footwear maker K1X drops the long awaited 2013 edition collaboration with fashion designer Patrick Mohr - The Mk4.
This latest version is made of high-end nubuck leather and will be available this December in three new colorways - red, orange and yellow. The Mk4 features several silent updates, including the workmanship of its collar padding, overall embossing and heel-strap magnet. As usual, triangels - a trademark of Mohr - are embossed and debossed on the shoe's upper, while the tongue features triangular cutouts. The K1X DCAC by Patrick Mohr is a unisex sneaker that can be modified to a variety of different looks via two detachable accessories that can be worn as a wrist band or around the neck. The inspiration behind this project is to combine the worlds of basketball, hip hop and fashion, but in a way that keeps both brands still recognizable in their unique characteristics.
Patrick Mohr reflects about his collab: " The triangle is my trademark, obviously. That’s why it was important for me to include it in the shoe as well. I’m really glad how the embossed triangles came out in the final product. Something that not many people know about me is that I’m actually a qualified carpenter, that’s why the wooden triangle on the front of the shoe is a very important piece to me. TheMk4 can be worn by everybody. Men, women, it doesn’t matter. Everybody can wear it and that is what makes this shoe so special. And you can wear it in many different variations with the straps and accessoires."
The K1X x Patrick Mohr DCAC Mk4 will release at special events in Berlin and Paris in December 2013 and will be available worldwide at fine retailers including Primitive (London), Feature Sneaker Boutique (Las Vegas), 424 on Fairfax (Los Angeles), Luisa via Roma (Milan) and k1x.com/shop from end of december.
