Northwave's "Espresso," which became a hot topic in the 1990s, is making a comeback once again! Starting with a column in a certain magazine in which Hiroshi Fujiwara wore them, they were an iconic pair loved by many people in Uraharajuku, which dominated the Japanese fashion scene.
The concept is to create an "after-snow" fashion for chill time with friends after snowboarding, combining the sole of a typical snowboard boot with the upper of a sneaker to achieve a chunky look and comfortable fit. The result is a comfortable and chubby look.
ESPRESSO SUEDE ¥21,780 each
ESPRESSO CHILLI SUEDE ¥22,880 each
Just like back then, this reissue collection is available in bright colors. Four low-cut colors and two high-cut colors are available. The upper is made of suede, and the voluminous silhouette creates a calm mood.
Although these shoes were created in the context of snowboarding, as shown in the look, the true value of these shoes is demonstrated on the street. Enjoy walking around town in your own unique colorway of "Northwave. They are sure to be useful in a variety of situations.
