After releasing the Mk3 at Pool Munich last year, the Mk2 at Wood Wood Berlin two years ago and the Mk1 at FourTwoFour on Fairfax in L.A. three years ago, here’s a look at the long awaited 2013-edition of
the footwear collaboration by basketball brand K1X and fashion designer Patrick Mohr. This latest version is made of high-end suede leather and will be available this December in three new colour ways - red, orange and yellow. The Mk4 features several silent updates, including the workmanship of its collar padding, overall embossing and heel-strap magnet. As usual, triangles – a trademark of Mohr’s – are embossed and debossed on the shoe's upper, while the tongue features triangular cutouts. The K1X DCAC by Patrick Mohr is a unisex sneaker that can be modified to a variety of different looks via two detachable accessories that can be worn as a wristband or around the neck. The inspiration behind this project is to combine the worlds of basketball, hip hop and fashion, but in a way that keeps both brands still recognisable in their unique characteristics. Something like that has not been done before. I'm really glad how the embossed triangles came out in the final product. Something that not many people know about me is that I'm actually a qualified carpenter, that's why the wooden triangle on the front of the shoe is a very important piece to me. The DCAC can be worn by everybody. Men, women, it doesn't matter. Our earlier releases have become collector's items, which makes me really happy as I am a sneaker nerd myself - Patrick Mohr
