Japanese footwear brand SUICOKE is welcoming new styles to its Fall/Winter 2022 lineup: the Vibram FUROSHIKI line.

The FUROSHIKI silhouette has been a long-standing style in Vibram’s product catalog. Borrowing its name from the traditional Japanese wrapping cloths used to wrap and transport goods, the Vibram FUROSHIKI features an innovative sole design that wraps around the entire foot. SUICOKE’s growing relationship with Vibram and the brand’s Japanese heritage made the FUROSHIKI a great fit for this project.

The SUICOKE Vibram FUROSHIKI collection includes two silhouettes, the Futon-LO and Futon-Hi, that expand on Vibram’s design with some unique features. While the original low-top FUROSHIKI low-top is meant to give the wearer a “barefoot feel,” SUICOKE adds comfort through adjustments made to the heel and arch of the shoe, as well as padded cushioning on the upper. As the name suggests, the extra heat-retentive padding on the upper wraps your foot as a futon would.

The Futon-HI sees additional updates with the inclusion of an elastic band on the heel region. The adjustable elastic heel strap allow for a more fine-tuned fit to every type of foot. This also helps to reduce the amount of space between the foot and the upper material, thus keeping warmth inside the shoe. Both styles are offered in Triple Black and in a Beige/Green/White colorway.

The SUICOKE Vibram FUROSHIKI FW22 collection will be available starting today, September 30th on the SUICOKE website and at premium retailers such as SSENSE, Holt Renfrew, ALUMNI, as well as online partner FARFETCH. Check out the collection and campaign imagery below.
