Known for its visionary approach to design, RAL7000STUDIO brings a fresh perspective to ECCO's well-established reputation for technological excellence and performance materials for this ongoing collaborative series.
RAL7000STUDIO co-founder Marco Simonetti spoke of his excitement at the opportunities for the partnership, describing the ongoing collaboration as: "a remarkable opportunity for both of us to explore uncharted territories, as we embark on a journey to unveil groundbreaking projects through distinctive design, inventive research and development, cutting-edge engineering solutions, and unique leather concepts by the ECCO leather division".
Crafted from premium materials including velvety Nubuck and ultra-soft leather, the ECCO STREET ACE RAL7000 creates a sleek aerodynamic design from the functional padded panels of a skate shoe, while with the substantial sole gives the grip and performance of a hiking boot. The shoe comes in 3 versatile colourways - monochromatic Black, Shadow White or Sand.
This release marks the beginning of an extended collaboration between RAL7000STUDIO and ECCO, with more innovative products set to drop throughout 2024 including a high-top boot featuring laser-cut leather mimicking technical mesh.
