Description

■POSSESSED SHOE_DYNAMISM■

DYNAMISM” is a high cut shoe based on the high cut “FOOT PLANT” with the liner changed to microfiber and cotton (only the heel cup part) to make it even tougher and easier to wear. The lining of the ankle cuff is lined with MICRO FIBER, a special material with soft needles; the combination of CANVAS and MICRO FIBER allows for free ankle movement and a moderate sense of hold. The outer side of the shoe has a two-layer construction, so even if the first layer of canvas is scraped off, the second layer of suede prevents the hole from penetrating. The entire surface is decorated with the artwork of painter, engraver, and skater Toshikazu Nosaka. First time limited edition. http://toshikazu-nozaka.com

CONCEPT
A shoe brand with a simple design that is durable and functional enough to withstand serious skateboarding.

MICRO FIBER LINER
The lining of the ankle is lined with MICRO FIBER, a special material that is soft and taut. the combination of CANVAS and MICRO FIBER allows for free movement of the ankle, while still providing a moderate sense of hold.

DOUBLE LAYERED OLLIE PAD
The outer side of the shoe is double layered. Even if the first layer of canvas is scraped by Ollie, etc., the second layer of suede prevents the hole from penetrating.

OUTSOLE and INSOLE
Gum sole is used for the outsole. The waffle pattern enhances grip and flexibility. The insole uses a high-density urethane foam material with high shock absorption. The heel portion from the toe to the foot has a honeycomb structure for enhanced durability and wicking properties. The toe portion is 5 mm thick and the heel portion is 10 mm thick for improved shock absorption and control.
