Eclectic details create a one-of-a-kind shoe characterized by a lightweight, chain-linked rubber sole that takes inspiration from iconic Versace chain jewellery. Signature elements on the newest Versace sneaker include the iconic Greek Key pattern, the 'Chain Reaction' logo patch and braille 'love' lettering expressing the concept that love is blind.",
