The hybrid element that "UNEEK" has is kept as it is, and the free expression that seems to be "VINYAL ARCHIVE" is incorporated in this work. The inner bootie is made of a mesh material that is lightweight and durable, and has been updated so that it can be worn in all seasons.

Kohei Ohkita, designer of the "VINL ARCHIVE," describes the product story as follows.

"Footwear that can survive with itself."
When I saw UNEEK HT , these are the words that came to my mind.
This phrase came to mind when I imagined the way we live together in our daily lives, such as at work and in our private lives, which are different from outdoor field environments. I wondered what kind of presence the use of materials and small parts would have in our daily lifestyle, not to mention the functionality, and I thought that the footwear would be a great match for urban life. . When creating, I think about how to show the contrasts with a sense of relative parts while creating the product. While using black as the base color, I proceeded with the coloring, imagining the gray of the booties as concrete illuminated by electric lights at night rather than warm colors. At the same time, I have always loved the coloring of the tactical line of military items, and I was conscious of the gray that is developed in that line.

The product will go on sale on Friday, June 22. Be sure to try this gem of a collaboration that has been elevated from a summer staple to a daily staple.
