AstroPod is RHIME’s sculpted platform sneaker—big shape, light step. For this APORRO collab, the upper is hand-finished with high-clarity glass crystals for a deep, jewelry-grade shine. A molded EVA shell delivers a clean +5 cm (1.97") lift. The PU “RHIME” side panel holds the silhouette; a suede leather heel and top-grain leather tongue add luxury touchpoints. Underfoot, cushioned EVA and a concentric-groove outsole keep city moves soft and sure.

Features

• +5 cm (1.97") platform — instant height

• High-clarity glass crystals — round, high-transparency stones for a brighter, deeper sparkle

• Hand set, multi-stage process — positioned, heat-pressed, cooled, and hand-fixed for secure hold and even shine

• Protective forefoot & heel trims — smooth guards reduce abrasion against crystals in high-motion zones

• PU sculpt frame — keeps the shape; wipes clean

• Suede leather heel — lush nap, richer handfeel

• Top-grain leather tongue — buttery touch; breaks in, not apart

• Concentric tread outsole — confident city traction

• Rope laces + anti-oxidation eyelets — polished hardware; long wear
