The new standard of Gravis evolving.

From performance shoes to limited editions and collaborations, the sneaker market continues to expand worldwide.

ODJICK TASSEL

This new model is a continuation of the Ojek lineage, combining casualness and elegance.

The big-silhouette boom that has been going on for a while seems to have calmed down a bit, and compact items are on the rise in the 20AW season. Taking advantage of this trend, the tassel loafer type "ODJICK TASSEL" can be used for both casual and dress-like looks.

To harmonize with this mood, a suede jacket accented with a cutting design is used as a base, with wide silhouette pants and knit gloves and tie for a neutral look. The overall look is classic and modern.

Tassel loafers, as the name suggests, are loafers with "tassels" on the instep of the upper. The first loafer is said to have been made by Paul Lucas, a Hollywood actor, who ordered a pair of leather shoes with tassels on the laces from an American shoe manufacturer in 1948.

ODJICK TASSEL

Despite its low-tech appearance, the insole features "C9Lv2" with excellent cushioning, stability, and durability, as well as antibacterial and deodorant properties. In addition, the upper is made of cushioning material inside the lining of the upper and instep, making the shoes as comfortable as sneakers. The gap between appearance and comfort will surely surprise you.
