CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC's Chunky Sneakers Are a Sci-Fi Dream Come True

Super futuristic.

Bulky, retro sneakers are still the silhouette of the moment, and with everyone from FILA to Gucci dropping their own versions, there’s an option to suit every budget. The recently-rebranded CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC offered up its take on the trend with its chunky Carla sneakers earlier this year and for summer, the kicks are back with a futuristic update.

The statement-making upper boasts shimmering silver leather throughout, with the mirror-like surface being complemented by the laceless design and avant-garde cut. A neoprene bootie-like sock lines the interior for optimum comfort and a snug fit, and an off-white adjustable strap around the heel adds a cool touch. The exaggerated midsole sees a vibrant hit of coral, interlocked with a sculpted, light grey outsole and Calvin Klein branding and zig-zag patterns upon the heel complete the look.

Pair these space-age kicks with an all-white outfit for the ultimate astronaut look, or with casual denim garments for laid-back everyday style. You can shop a pair of these ultra-shiny Carla sneakers at retailers like Nordstrom for $595 USD. Check out the monochromatic white option, too.
