Daniel Gamache aka Mache has been in the bespoke custom sneaker game for well over a decade and made his own signature sneaker, the Mache Runner, in 2020. Mache has teamed up with NOLA sneaker boutique Sneaker Politics for a pop-up for the release of the Mache Runner “St. Charles” colorway, inspired by the trolleys of St. Charles.
“New Orleans is one of my favorite cities to visit in the country, so I wanted to celebrate its history with this colorway,” says Mache. “Focusing on the St. Charles line, the longest streetcar line in the city, the iconic green exterior of the cars comes to life in this Mache Runner colorway. I’m proud to team up with my friends at Sneaker Politics to amplify the authentic storytelling of this city.”
The upper is dressed in an olive perforated suede with overlays in black and red leather and long-haired olive suede. Contrast stitching is seen on the overlays and quarter panel, with a “St. Charles” tag stitched underneath the lace overlays. “275” is stitched on the black heeltab with a red pulltab for ease of access, and a tan leather liner finishes up the upper. The white midsole is a foam Vibram midsole with a black Vibram outsole for ultimate durability and traction.
The Mache Runner “St. Charles” will be available in limited quantities with a retail price of $300 at Sneaker Politics at the New Orleans Decatur location on June 26th at 11 AM. They’ll also be up for 72 hour pre-order on June 28th at 11 AM EST at Machecustoms.com.
