grounds/MOOPIE BLACK

Footwear that feels as if you have stepped on something like a giant gel-like substance.
A playful design that deliberately makes the outsole, which should normally be sturdy to support the entire body, into a fluid and soft-looking shape.
The rubber parts attached on the outside add an accent to the design.
The upper is finished with a delicate touch, contrasting with the voluminous sole.
The sharp shape, the cinch created at the arch, and the gentle slope from the toe to the heel give an elegant and sleek style that is not found in conventional sneakers.
The asymmetric layout of the knit upper with shoelace holes and patterns inherits the abstract outsole design.
The height of the heel is approximately 7cm.
Despite the thick sole, it is designed to support the entire body with the sole and provide moderate cushioning, making it less tiring to walk.

A footwear brand supervised by designer Mikiro Sakabe, who works on MIKIO SAKABE.
Under the theme of 'bringing about a change in the relationship between humans and gravity (Earth)' and 'human development centered around the outsole, which is the contact point between humans and gravity (Earth) and the ground,' we are unveiling footwear with distinctive, voluminous outsoles.
