Tomo&Co. is known for its iconic shoes with air soles, but the new collection introduced here was created with a different approach.
This is the brand's first model with guest designer Kentaro Kabatani of "bal" fame.
Mr. Kabatani is known as one of the biggest sneaker enthusiasts in the industry.InstagramThe wide range and depth of his work can be seen in the many pairs of shoes he owns that are featured in the "Tomo & C.O." section of this website. Mr. Kabatani and Tomo & C.O. have created the trekking shoes you see here.
Particularly impressive is the design of the upper. The combination of suede and nylon oxfords with a rubber toe cap is a perfect example of how to switch and arrange the materials. Combined with the boo-doo construction that prevents water and mud from entering the shoe, it is an exquisite, yet unlikely, drop that captures the zeitgeist.
In addition, the trekking sole made by "Vibram" has been adopted and a modern update has been added.
They will be available in four colors: two colors featuring color transitions created by Mr. Kabatani, and off-white and black by Tomotaka Onozaki, the designer of Tomo&Cio. If you want to play around with your feet, go for the former, and if you want to keep it simple, go for the latter. It is hard to choose one over the other, so please choose the pair that best suits your style.
Tomo & C.O." is now on sale online.
