The anticipated second chapter of Fab Five drops this October. Ellesse heritage have teamed up with five of the world’s most revered stores to rework five archive ellesse sneaker styles from the late 70s and 80s. They brought the minds of these select artisans together, in a celebration of design, culture and history. Each store was selected for their specific and inspirational personalities.

As an extension to last year the designers were offered complete creative control, allowing them to change colors, fabrications and design details on each shoe. The project brings five unique tastes, subcultures and crafts to ellesse’s history.

Japan’s most famed sneaker store chose the classic Marathon ‘84 to work on. A vintage runner created for the 1984 New York Marathon; and one of ellesse’s most celebrated styles. Atmos bring their typical abstract tastes to the table; a controversial all over red pantone, symbolizing good luck in Japan, Picasso inspired artwork and sock print for that eclectic Atmos touch. The result is a clean statement sneaker pushing the Marathon ’84 into the forefront of today’s sneaker community.
