Foot Locker Sydney will be part of a limited-edition global release this Saturday.
The New York-based specialty retailer has unveiled the winning winner of its annual World Sneaker Championship.
Staged in partnership with Pensole Footwear Design Academy, the tournament attracted 64 finalists from across the globe.
The winning sneaker, designed by Maxwell Lund of Morton, Minn., was selected via public bracket-style voting with two finalists decided by a panel of judges.
Lund's design was handcrafted in Portugal by Portugal Footwear.
It features a FE (For Ever) molded EVA outsole, three different grades of fine Portugal leather, lasered signature of the winning designer on top of the pull tab, World Sneaker Championship logo on the heel and metal lace tips.
Each shoe is individually numbered on the back of the tongue and comes in a box with straps so it converts into a backpack.
The shoe will be sold at Foot Locker stores globally, including Sydney, with only 300 pairs retailing worldwide for US$180.
Pensole Design Academy founder D'Wayne Edwards said the global campaign is growing.
"World Sneaker Championship has continued to grow, and partnering with Foot Locker has only amplified that.
"With more than 5,700 registrants from over 57 different countries and 300,000 voting public in 2016, I can only imagine what's in store for this year's competition.
"The reach of sneaker culture around the globe is really amazing to see."
