Mephisto’s Rainbow silhouette is a chic and timeless sneaker design that will fit any style or closet. While the Rainbow collection already has a substantial range, their latest collaboration with Madhappy adds two new variations that are must-haves for everyone. A minimalist take on the shoe, the Mephisto and Madhappy Rainbow design is sleek enough for an elevated footwear choice, yet still has the casual chicness of an everyday sneaker. Madhappy, known for their playful and contemporary style brings their brand identity into the mix, as they’ve previously down with other collaborations. For those looking for the perfect everyday sneaker, especially in an easy-to-style neutral, the Mephisto x Madhappy Rainbow sneaker is one to watch.

On the outside, these sneakers come with custom co-branding, mixed suede, flat heels, and speed lacing.

Although Mephisto’s Rainbow silhouette comes in various colorways and styles, the Madhappy collaboration sneaker brings a contemporary take on the brand’s heritage sneaker. Unlike other collaborations that can get bold and bright patterns and colors, this sneaker is all about a functional piece that works with your closet. Available via Mephisto, the Rainbow sneaker is priced at $345. As a bonus, one percent of the proceeds of each sale goes to The Madhappy Foundation which works to raise awareness and fund research for the mental health movement.

This time the two brands have focused on creating a new version of the Fresh Foam Sneaker that incorporates some of GANNI’s contemporary style. This unisex design will be available in two fun colorways for every look. If this latest collaborative shoe is anything like their previous partnership, there’s no reason why the Fresh Foam Sneaker won’t fly off the shelves.

For the “Futuristic Silver/Pink” colorway, wearers will find a retro silver base with touches of sparkling pink hues. On the other hand, the “Racing Red/Black” option comes with a red mesh base with black overlays throughout the shoe and a contrasting white midsole. Both variations also contain Y2K-inspired charms on the design’s double-lacing system. As part of both brand’s ethos, a significant portion of the shoe is made with recycled polyester including in the linings, bindings, and insole boards. Small co-branded details can be found throughout the shoe, including GANNI’s butterfly logo. This exciting new sneaker will be available on November 20th via New Balance and GANNI’s web stores. Fans can also find the design at select GANNI stores throughout the country.
