Stone Island’s ‘Ghost’ line reduces a garment to its essence: entirely monochromatic using its signature fabric dyeing techniques, even the brand’s famed compass logo all but disappears into the design. As such, the collection has achieved cult status within the Stone Island community, favoured by those who value subtlety, and lean towards a minimal, reduced aesthetic.
Revealed this week, a new collaboration with Boston-based sneaker and sportswear company New Balance expands the Ghost line into footwear, with Stone Island redesigning a version of New Balance’s Original 991 sneaker which – considering the devoted followers of both labels – will likely be this year’s most sought-after sneaker.
