Hiromu Takahara Smokey Shoes

Apr 16 2008 Published by under Shoes

Stylish, dressy and loaded with all kinds of surprises, these shoes by Hiromu Takahara will make an incredible statement in any situation. A slightly worn and dusty look slides over delicately patched and worn textures.

If your Japanese streetwear wardrobe lacks any cyber-cowboy dress items, you obviously haven’t been watching enough anime. A person should be able to dress up like a 23rd century intergalactic cow herder and still be dealt with in a respectful and understanding manner. Even in Compton. Hey, if a rapper can wear a bed sheet and call it clothing, they shouldn’t have a problem with me creepin’ through the hood looking like Gackt.

Harakiri Cobra Shoehorn

Cobra shoehorn by haraKIRI

Rude dinner guests? Give them the boot! But before you do, offer to help them put on their shoes. This haraKIRI cobra shoehorn is designed to get people quickly out of your house. Or kill them. Because, if angled wrong, this silent ankle biter will have your company dead on the front porch. “Honey, we need the shovels again.”

I don’t care what you might have seen in movies, always dig graves in the backyard; not the front, and gardening past midnight will likely wake up the whole bloody condo. The next thing you know, you’re being chewed out at the monthly tenants meeting. And it has nothing to do with peeing in the elevators. Hey, it’s not like I’m taking number 2′s in there. The laundry room has much better reading material.

Obelisk Reptilian Wallet

Wallet by Obelick

An eye catching wallet by accessories specialists Obelisk. Intricate pattens and textures cover this entire wallet. The reptile skin and micro-detailed artwork blend together in rich colors and style.

But a word of warning: this wallet only accepts platinum credit cards and stacks of crisp hundreds. Yes, I tried to fit in a bus pass and some loose change. It was a definite no-go.

I guess l’ll just have to make use of my George Costanza inspired mini-accordion wallet for a little while longer. Well, until my Nigerian friend gets back from validating my savings account. Oh hush. I’ll let you in on the scheme after I chrome my first Enzo.

Yasuyuki Ishii Patchwork Leather Boots

Yasuyuki Ishii Patchwork Leather Boots

Another stunning design by Yasuyuki Ishii. This time he’s constructed a pair of post-apocalyptic looking leather boots through meticulous patchwork and sewing. These are the boots a fashion conscious road warrior from the future would wear as he saves a town from a traveling band of ex-WWE stars. Sorry, did I say stars?

Anyway, these boots look like they could really kick some ass, but I’d be careful wearing them up Mt. Fuji or someplace. Sherpas would undoubtably make a grab for them in your sleep, leaving you to ride the escalator up with the rest of the old people and Uniqlo staff. They must have a Uniqlo up there by now.

TroisO Nemesis Bracelet

TroisO Nemesis Bracelet yin-yang

TroisO has released this incredible bracelet that comes with all sorts of fine details forged into its silver links. This bracelet is a part of the Think Balance collection, which asks us to evaluate our lives from the ying-yang philosophy of the East.

Speaking of balance, wearing this hefty piece on your wrist would definitely warp your posture. Being way too cheap to buy a second one, your best bet would be to hold a dumbbell in your other hand while politely telling your driving instructor that it’s the only way to stop driving around in circles. But after displaying your mastery of the continuous U-turn, he seems unimpressed, and you’re forced to boast about your knowledge of NASCAR. He still fails you, but that doesn’t stop you from driving school buses. Man, some people just don’t understand Japanese streetwear at all!
