Raf Simons (RUNNER) Antei – Purple Suede – Size 43

Raf Simons (RUNNER) Antei – Purple Suede – Size 43

Raf Simons Antei sneakers from the designer’s Raf Simons (RUNNER) footwear line, introduced for the FW20 collection. This version comes in a full tonal purple colourway and combines a technical running-inspired sole with an exaggerated, fashion-focused upper. Product code HR740001L-2958. 

The upper is constructed from purple suede with tonal textile and synthetic panels, giving the shoe a layered appearance while keeping the colour completely monochromatic. One of the main design features is the large removable front panel placed over the lacing system. The panels can be taken off, allowing the sneakers to be worn with the conventional laces exposed and creating two noticeably different looks from the same pair. 

The Antei sits on a substantial sculpted rubber sole with metallic-looking inserts and repeated RAF SIMONS branding integrated into the side and heel sections. The low-profile upper combined with the oversized sole gives the model the experimental proportions associated with Raf Simons’ later footwear designs. 

The interior is padded around the heel and collar for comfort, while the lace-up construction allows the fit to be adjusted once the removable panels are taken off.
