PAF Cut Petals Into Its First Ever Sneaker
POST ARCHIVE FACTION has never made a shoe. Its debut is Italian leather, laser-cut into overlapping petals, and it drops today.
POST ARCHIVE FACTION builds clothes like architecture: seams that fold in on themselves, structure where you expect drape. Now that language has a shoe. The Petal Trainers are the first sneaker in the brand's history, and its first step into lifestyle footwear.
The upper is the whole story. Italian cow leather, laser-cut into petals that overlap across the foot, in Black, Brown, White and Malva Grey. It was first shown at the label's Fall/Winter 2026 presentation during Paris Fashion Week.
89,040 yen. Roughly 570 dollars. September 9.
