Champion Shakes Things Up With the Release of 3 Luxurious Pairs of Sneakers

Rewind to about 2010, when Champion was found in Walmart's throughout North America.  When Champion was just your average Sports Apparel brand.  Now, in 2017, Champion is recognized as one of the most popular streetwear brands, worn by many popular Instagramers as well as celebrities.  Their simplistic, comfortable designs make for perfect everyday clothing but don't lack the looks.  The footwear department for Champion has never been a contender amongst the big dogs, however, this year, Champion decided to step up their sneaker game by announcing these three new, luxurious silhouettes.

All three sneakers feature a premium leather upper and have a retro silhouette.  The first sneaker has an exaggerated black and red Champion logo, as well as small perforations and a midsole resembling that of the Calabasas.  The other two sneakers feature a premium tumbled leather, rather than grain, and the word 'Mercury' stamped on the heel counter in gold.  

These three sneakers are currently available at select retailers for a ticket price of $110 USD for the 'Mercury' and $130 USD for the 919 Corporate Low.

Will you be copping yourself a pair of these?  Let us know in the comments and be sure to revisit us for more on sneakers, music, and more!
