The “Walk With” drop is a very special Diadora N9002 designed by a group of four passionate NYC high-school students: Lucero Alvarez (14 years old), Bianca Coller, (16 years old), Charles Johnson (15 years old), Karina Quiridumbay (16 years old) as part of Incorp[HER]ated and Foot Locker, Inc.’s three-week “Studio Next” program promoting inclusivity and awareness of opportunities in the sneaker industry through hands-on activities and conversation.
The exclusive “Walk With” colorway and silhouette is inspired by the connection between nature and mental wellness. It’s rooted in the fact that everyone, with an emphasis on teens, should tend to their emotional needs in order to be their best selves. The students identified nature as an element that grounded each of them, and paid homage to NYC’s outdoor spaces.
The shoe is outfitted with suede as the main material for its soft texture and to build a comforting feel into the design. The shoe’s earth tone colorway represents soil, water, and grass – key elements reflective of the grounded inspiration behind the drop, The embroidered sprout on the heel is a reminder that each step is an opportunity to grow.
Retailing for $130, the “Walk With” Diadora N9002 will be available in men’s sizes exclusively at champssports.com and the Champs Sports Store in Time Square starting Wednesday December 17th at 10 AM EST.
