The International — The R.I.S.E. Collection
The R.I.S.E. Collection — Rising In Spite of Everything
Washington, DC is home to more than 175 embassies. More than 170 nationalities live here. Over 168 languages are spoken across the metro area. And yet, when most people talk about DC, they talk about politics.
The International is the first shoe of The R.I.S.E. Collection, and it was built for every version of this city that never makes the front page.
Red. White. Blue. You think you know what flag that is. Look closer.
Those colors belong to France. To the UK. To the Netherlands. To Cuba. To Liberia. To dozens of nations whose citizens call DC home — not as visitors, not as diplomats passing through, but as neighbors. The International wears its colors on purpose, and it lets you decide what they mean.
Handcrafted in Italy on a soccer-inspired silhouette. White leather upper. Red quarter panels. Navy stripe detailing. Bubblegum sole. Made to order. Designed in DC.
This is not a sneaker about America. This is a sneaker about everywhere America doesn't want to admit it is.
