Description
Model History:
The Addict model embodies Hermès’ desire to enter the luxury sneaker segment without sacrificing its high standards of materials and finish. Introduced in the 2010s, at a time when traditional fashion houses are subtly appropriating the codes of streetwear, this model stands out for its clean lines and ergonomic design for walking. Far from imposing logos and exaggerated volumes, Hermès offers a sneaker that favors balanced shapes and noble materials. The name Addict echoes an almost affective dimension in the wearing of this model: immediate comfort, an adaptable silhouette and impeccable workmanship.
Exterior Details:
The upper is made of dense, lightly textured white canvas, reinforced at the toe and heel with soft leather inserts in a matching white hue. The smooth leather back yoke, contrasted by the base of the black sole, stabilizes the silhouette and ensures good foot support. The midsole is white, while the outsole blends black and orange in graphic blocks, with a non-slip texture. A discreet orange serrated detail on the side of the sole evokes a technical touch inspired by the world of running. The flat laces, also white, are embellished with a lightly striped pattern reminiscent of nautical ropes. The overall design remains minimalist, with no ostentatious visible logos, in the spirit of discreet, functional luxury.
Interior Details:
The interior is fully lined, probably in leather or technical textile, ensuring optimum comfort when worn. The ergonomic insole moulds to the shape of the foot and provides good cushioning. There’s a textile pull tab at the heel for easy slip-on, as well as the clean internal finishes characteristic of Hermès products. Size 43 is indicated on the inside, and “Hermès Paris” branding is visible on the insole.
Product Condition:
The sneakers are in very good condition, with no visible wear. The canvas remains clean, with no stains or snags, and the leather inserts show no deep creases or discoloration. The laces are original and in excellent condition. The structure of the shoe is intact, with a good fit and no visible deformation. Delivered with their Hermès dustbag.
Care instructions:
To preserve the white fabric, we recommend using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove superficial traces, and avoiding aggressive products. Leather can occasionally be nourished with a special milk for smooth leather. It is advisable to store sneakers in their dustbag and away from humidity, using shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to prevent yellowing of the fabric.
