Patterned Puffy Artisanal Shoes

Suicoke and Story mfg. Present a New Collection Together

— September 21, 2024 — Art & Design
Suicoke and Story mfg. work in collaboration on a new padded shoe made for the winter season. The SUICOKE BOWER-TRab-ECO is transformed into a more sustainable build and the low-cut variation PEPPER-TRab-ECO is finished in a rustic handmade fabric material.

Saeed explains to Highsnobiety, “I wear this SUICOKE winter boot every single winter. As a designer, you always look at everything you have and think about what you would change if it was your thing. There are many things we do where the evidence of the handwork is kind of not visible, it just looks like lovely fabric, but with this one [used on the SUICOKE shoes], you can really see every hand movement in the product. The fabric has a really chunky, interesting waffle."
