Alex Nash is an OG of the sole-swapping movement, having combined the Air Max 360 sole with Visvim’s FBT moccasin boot for a hybrid so crazy few have approached it even as the majors’ lifestyle divisions continue their Frankenstein experiments. Nash Money works his magic again with a classic French running silhouette, as the Ellesse 117 is transformed from New Balance-leaning golden era suede and mesh runner to a moc-toed boat shoe hybrid that shows how modular these design elements really are. Click through to see more angles of how this all fits together on ‘Grape’ and ‘Wheat’ colorups after the jump and be ready for the Nash x Ellesse 117 to arrive at select retailers worldwide next Saturday, June 30th.
