In a groundbreaking fusion of fashion and performance, Loewe is set to soon unveil its collaborative collection with performance brand On. The duo have come together to create the Cloudtilt shoe, a one-of-a-kind number that blends Swiss engineering with meticulous craftsmanship. And one of the first people to get their hands on the new kicks is racing driver Amna Al Qubaisi, best known for being the first Emirati woman to win a Formula 4 UAE Trophy Race at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2019, and the first to compete in a Formula E test in Saudi Arabia in 2018.

The immersive space offers a kinetic floor experience, where LED screens respond to your every movement, creating real-time artistic ripples and patterns.
