We know all to well of the influence certain sports have on fashion and more specific our footwear. Here is one concept that stands out for its traditional design that dates back century’s and century’s. The Ikitabi concept is based on traditional Japanese slippers, one of which has influenced the likes of Martin Margiela and Nike with the Air Rift.
“Traditional Kohaze & Kakeito hook and eye fasteners are adjustable at the opening of the boot, with two different settings to ensure a comfortable and supportive fit. Rubber soles give a unique barefoot feel, both non-slip and ergonomic they provide arch support and ground hugging comfort making Ikitabi a great walking boot, the sole design is even patented”.
Oki-ni have them available in these select colors featuring both canvas and leather uppers.
