Last Thursday, Autry and American artist Rob Pruitt officially unveiled their limited-edition collaboration at a gas station in Miami Beach transformed into the “Autry Art Station.” The installation immersed viewers in the artist’s signature world of chrome, juxtaposing utility and artistic sensibility. It was the perfect backdrop to reveal the fruits of Pruitt and Autry’s collaboration: a pair of mirror-finish chrome leather sneakers outfitted with puffy silver laces. Seamlessly blending futurism and nostalgia, the shoes serve as an icon of Americana. Only 2,500 units are available globally.
