The kNight critiques triggered responses to black and white, exploring how we perceive colors and shades and the roots of our triggers. The sneaker combines a monstrous material (Black Python with Silver Tipping), a reflective material (Cracked Mirror Cow), and a soft luxurious lining (Black Shearling), symbolizing misfitting. The selected materials embody luxurious, intense, and glaring qualities, intending to depict both terror and power associated with the shade Black.
Black often elicits fear, prompting responses related to our skin, the nighttime, or a dark-colored room. Conversely, why is white associated with purity and nobility? The kNight challenges these associations, highlighting the potential beauty or terror of the nighttime, and questioning societal perceptions.
