Founded in 2008 by Stephane Ashpool, Pigalle represents an interesting sartorial juxtaposition, blending streetwear aesthetics with the swankier high-fashion sensibilities of Paris. Perfectly fitting with that design philosophy, the Pigalle x Nike Air Raid releases in extremely limited numbers next week.
Monochromatism is the order of the day, with Pigalle eschewing even a semblance of contrast on both colorways of the outdoor-specific basketball model. Each pair sports mesh inlays against matching premium leather overlays, all cloaked in a single tone — white or purple.
Alas, if you’re not in NYC, you won’t have a shot. The shoes will launch exclusively in New York City, at 21 Mercer and Dover Street Market, via raffle. To enter, visit either store and present a valid ID before 7pm local time on September 10 to receive a raffle ticket. (One per person, name on ticket and ID must match when picking up.) Winners will receive instruction on how to purchase a pair.
