grounds/MOOPIE WHITEGRAY

Footwear that looks like you have stepped on something giant and gel-like.
A playful design where the outsole, which should normally be sturdy to support the entire body, is intentionally made into a fluid and soft shape.
The rubber parts attached on the outside add an accent to the design.
The upper is finished delicately, contrasting with the voluminous sole.
The sharp shape, the cinch at the arch, and the gentle slope from the toe to the heel create 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.
