The Story Behind the Print

A legacy of layers. The Kaito Japan Design "Kokon Patchwork" High Tops pay tribute to Boro—the traditional Japanese practice of reworking and repairing textiles. This design captures the soul of fabrics that have been passed down through generations, reflecting the spirit of Mottainai (regret over waste) and the continuous journey of Kaizen. The varied shades of indigo and the faux-stitched textures celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the strength found in resilience. These sneakers are designed for the individual who values a rich history and finds their Nagomi (Harmony) in the complex, layered stories of the past.
