The Story Behind the Print

The warmth of the changing season. The Kaito Japan Design "Aki" High Tops are inspired by the breathtaking transition of the Japanese landscape in autumn. Featuring the Momiji (maple leaf), a symbol of elegance and the beauty of passing time, this design reflects the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi—finding perfection in the ephemeral. The crisp white canvas acts as a fresh frost, allowing the fiery reds and oranges of the botanical print to glow with vitality. These sneakers are designed for the traveler who appreciates the rhythmic cycles of nature and finds their Nagomi (Harmony) in the crisp air of a forest walk.
