Painted Foot-Shaped Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Midorikawa and Suicoke Unite for the Newest Vibram® FiveFingers Release

— March 14, 2023 — Fashion
After previously collaborating on a pair of skin-colored footwear, Midorikawa and Suicoke have collaborated again on a Vibram® FiveFingers product. With authentically painted toenails, the Spring/Summer 2023 collection continues reinventing the instantly identifiable shoe style, giving it new colorways to match consumer demand.

The ‘NIN-LO’ model, which comes in the 'Black,' 'Black/Pink,' 'Light Ivory,' and 'Light Ivory/Pink' hues, has heat-welded seals connected to technical mesh and neoprene uppers, branding at the vamp, stitched collars, and velcro closures at the back. The shoes are completed with the signature Vibram sole units, which mimic the shape of a foot, complete with silver painted toenails.

On March 15 via Suicoke's website, the Midorikawa x Suicoke SS23 Vibram® FiveFingers release will be accessible.
