Sticking to the black and white palette which gives a minimal identity to the pieces, some of it, particularly the jackets, are cut to evoke skeletons while others feature a skull design on the back part.

Dior Homme Fall 2010 Leather Lace Ankle Sneakers

There’s nothing much “spark” about this sneaker from Dior Homme except the leather lace style which made the overall look worth glancing.
