Hermès Bouncing Sneaker All Black

The Hermès Bouncing in all black is the most discreet version of the house's best-known sneaker. Where the Bouncing usually announces itself through a contrasting sole and colour-blocked panels, the all-black treatment strips that back, so what remains is the shape and the materials rather than the colour.

It is built the way the Bouncing always is, mixing textures rather than using a single leather: calfskin overlays for structure, suede goatskin panels, and technical canvas, so the surface shifts between matte and smooth as the light moves across it. Inside, the insole and lining are goatskin and lambskin, which is what makes it comfortable enough to wear all day, and Hermès includes a second set of laces so the look can be changed. It is made in Italy and runs true to size.

All black is the easiest configuration to wear and the one that works with tailoring as readily as with denim, which is part of why it tends to sell through the boutiques fastest.
