Meet The Lexus You Can Wear: One-Off Sneakers Inspired By The IS 350 F Sport

Hot on the heels of last week’s unveiling of the Gamer’s IS, Lexus has introduced a pair of one-of-kind sneakers inspired by the IS 350 F Sport with the Dynamic Handling Package.

Created in partnership with RTFKT, the sneakers are unlike anything else as they feature a unique design which incorporates the IS’ bold colors and carbon rear fiber spoiler.

Starting from the bottom up, the shoes have a tire-inspired sole which wraps around the sides. The sneakers also feature a black tip that is designed to recall Lexus’ trademark spindle grille.

Their most eye-catching feature is a vibrant blue hue, which closely resembles the Grecian Water color that is available on the 2021 IS. It’s contrasted by black NuLuxe accents, light gray stitching and silver stripes inspired by the IS’ headlights.

The special touches don’t end there as the sneakers have prominent F Sport tags and Velcro straps with a Lexus badge at the top. Last but not least, there’s IS 350 badging on the back and a 3D printed ‘rear spoiler’ that has been designed to mimic the one on the car.

According to RTFKT creative director Chris Le, “We wanted to make sure when the audience looks at the sneaker, they instantly know it is the IS.” Lexus seems pleased with the result as marketing vice president Vinay Shahani described them as a “head-turning sneaker that unmistakably mirrors the bold design and impressive performance of the IS.”

While the shoes are a one-off, they were created as part of Lexus’ All In campaign which “celebrates those who fully embrace their passions, while showcasing its own obsession: an unapologetically pure sport sedan.”
