On Givenchy’s spring 2022 runway, creative director Matthew Williams presented a collection of sharply fitted suits and overcoats done up with a panoply of pockets (think fly fishing) and sleek silver hardware.

And the shoe presented was the TK-360, a just-released custom-molded knit sneaker with a striking arch and a futuristic vibe.
