PANE’s Quiet-Luxury Sneakers Just Got a Felt Tennis Ball Stitched Onto the Heel
A tiny felt tennis ball is the only clue this is a tennis collab. That's very on-brand for PANE.
The Shanghai sneaker label PANE, known for its stripped-back, logo-free “quiet luxury” look, has teamed up with tennis brand HEAD on its first-ever collaboration, reworking two of its signature shoes, Pace Nostalgia and Riviera Run, with tennis-inspired detailing.
The most obvious touch is a small tennis ball worked into felt detailing at the heel, a playful nod that doesn’t disrupt either shoe’s usual minimal silhouette. Underneath that, the build stays technical with a breathable mesh upper, an Ortholite insole, an EVA-cushioned midsole for lightweight comfort, a textured rubber toe cap for durability, and litchi-grain cowhide leather panelling for texture.
The Pace Nostalgia x HEAD comes in Court Verde and Ocean Volley, while Riviera Run x HEAD comes in Serve Grass and Navy Rally.
