seasonal Footwear energy

Driven by insights from Asia Pacific’s boutique sneaker community, seasonally relevant color stories are paired with innovative materials and premium finishes. Bold, irreverent and intended to make a statement.
AUTUMN AIR FORCE 1
Inspired by the transformation of a Japanese garden in Autumn. From the moss covered stones to the falling maple leaves that reveal your path underneath it.

DISTRESSED DENIM
Overtly worn denim, distressed with intent, draws inspiration from ’90s grunge, while acidic hyper-colors weave through its threads to amplify the raw, rebellious aesthetic.

GYOTAKU
Gyotaku (gyo-tah-koo) is a traditional Japanese art form where Fishermen used it to record their catch by applying ink to one side of a fish and then pressing paper or cloth over it to make a detailed print. This “fish printing” technique inspired the overlay of ink and textures for a hyperlocal approach to visual distressing.

SPORT FEMME
A seasonal material refresh of Asia Pacific’s top-selling sandal. Black lace redefines the silhouette, balancing sport utility with a sense of empowering femininity.

REFINED LINES
Burnished nubuck and leather introduce new visual and tactile depth, enhancing material richness without compromising the silhouette’s iconic design lines.
