London-based fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov unveils a new iteration of the Tonkin footwear model with a strapped update. The silhouette embodies a futuristic design language, similar to the rest of the designer's work and it comes in two colorway options of either Charcoal or Slate Grey.
The shoes are constructed from pure Bovine leather for a premium look and feel, detailing most of the chunky silhouette. Overall, it has a laceless structure and is defined by oversized straps that wrap around the forefoot and secure the foot in place. Other details include the mesh tongues to add some breathability and liners that provide some textural contrast. It all rests on top of a large rubber sole unit and has wavy lines at the medial sides.
