Whilst similar to the adidas Nizza, this pair of vulcanised boots created by Japanese designer Kazuki Kuraishi as part of his ObyO collection is unique in that the rubber toe cap covers the entire toe area (unlike the Nizza's half shell). The three stripes are also absent, the result of Kazuki's dislike for overt, obvious branding. These leapord skin and black leather models tap into Kazuki's love of all things discordantly punk. To top things off, the crowned skull logo Kazuki created with Shinsuke Takizawa of Neighborhood has been embroidered on each pair's outer heel.
