Takafumi Arai, a Japanese footwear manufacturer, added to its selection of offerings with two different sets of lace tassels that aim to make sneakers stand out.
Both are made from leather, with one coming in black and another boasting a vibrant colorway of red, pink, orange, green, blue and more. In order to add the statement accents to sneakers, consumers just adhere them to the ends of their laces by squeezing them on, making for an instant fix that's easily removed when the occasion that one's attending calls for a little less flair.
