Fashion loves a footballer. Fresh from winning the UEFA Men's Player of the Year, Karim Benzema has been announced as the new Fendi ambassador. The French footballer and Real Madrid player is the face of the House's sleek, technical sneaker. “Featuring technical fabrics and high-end athletic touches, the Fendi Faster Sneaker is balanced by the characteristic luxury which the Fendi Maison brings to each of its designs," the House notes. "In its finely tuned performance and finely honed detail, the Fendi Faster forms an ideal companion to Benzema’s own unique and inimitable skill, style, and strong personality.” We're feeling a Fendi-fied need for speed. The new sneaker is available now.
