HIGHSNOBIETY: MIDORIKAWA'S TRAUMATIZING TOENAIL SHOES RETURN

Toe shoes? Try toe shoes with painted toenails.

Taku Midorikawa (cousin of maskmaking genius Shin Murayama) and his eponymous brand do not deliver straightforward clothing. Thus, its Suicoke collaborations are similarly challenging.

Prior to Midorikawa's first Suicoke collaboration, for instance, the world was oblivious to the horror of Vibram's Five Fingers shoe (AKA toe shoes) fitted with actual toenails. Toe shoes were nothing new, mind you — we'd witnessed high-end toe shoes already — but Midorikawa devised an all new nightmare.
