About the brand and style of $X1 


The $X1 (or $oul 1's) defines what Rich$oul/RichMerch is, what it represents, and is the start of a very beautiful venture. The designer knew he was creating a shoe that was both unisex, and able to be dressed Up or Down, & at the same time, blow peoples minds and make them want to genuinely support, as they would a major production shoe. 

The navy blue suede toe adds a classy look & feel to the shoe, while the burgundy leather keeps it rugged and street style. The PonyHair Cheetah print material, adds the style & edginess that turns heads everywhere and separates you from the crowd. The yellow shoelace brings the entire project together, as it goes excellent with the grey suede tongue, creating a sleek, edgy, casual street shoe.
