Do you have a meeting at 3pm and then a workout session at the gym at 5pm? Then these two new, flexible footwear drops – which you can wear to both events – are for you!
From professional shoes perfect for the everyday businessman, to casual clogs for those looking to take a casual stroll – here are two pairs of kicks you don’t want to miss out on.
Birkenstock Tokio Suede Leather SS25
Birkenstock’s Boston has largely been considered the pinnacle of the brand’s output. The humble clog has become a mainstay of many a footwear rotation, because it is just as comfortable as any of the sandals from the 250-year-old German company – but it also offers a little extra toe protection.
However, if you’re looking for a clog that exudes confidence while also being extremely cosy, then look no further than the new Tokio Super Grip.
The Tokio Super Grip blends comfort and fashion in one package. Starting with comfort, the clog features the traditional suede-and-cork-latex footbed with a deep cup. This eccentric design provides exceptional cushioning while providing ample arch.
This almost-orthopaedic shoe provides support for your feet; pair this up with its shock-absorbing EVA midsole, and you’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds.
Of course, this clog isn’t called “Super Grip” for nothing; the soles have been given a diagonal herringbone pattern, with deep groves in between.
These soles have been specifically engineered to counter rolling motion, letting your feet easily latch on to slippery terrain as if they were dry stone.
Getting these shoes down to suit you doesn’t have to be a hassle either, as it has an adjustable backstrap to better conform to your preferred fit.
Speaking of fit, these footwear have received an update just in time for spring. Available in four new suede leather colours, Black, Taupe, Stone Coin, and Antique White, these kicks are here to rock your world.
The Birkenstock Tokio Suede Leather SS25 is available now for RM899 at the brand’s official website.
Dover Street Market x Brain Dead x adidas Originals Bowling
It is very rare for three legends to come together and work on a special footwear, but when they do, it often results in something truly spectacular.
And believe it or not, that is what has emerged with the revitalised adidas Bowling design.
Coming back in a striking all-black leather upper with matching white contrast stitching and heel-tab, this gorgeous sneaker strikes out all the boxes.
This “Core Black” colourway is a contemporary reimagining of the classic 1970 original.
This stylish footwear is made with the aforementioned premium leather, held together with that white stitching for structural integrity as well as visual contrast. The shoe rests upon a solid wooden slide sole so you can get a solid footing rest, as well as a rubber stop heel for additional reinforcement.
Of course, we can’t miss out on the adidas iconic three stripes that are made with the white stitching.
However, it isn’t all black and white; the sneaker also features a golden ankle stamp, featuring a co-branding between Dover Street Market and adidas.
Another co-branding feature can be seen at the insole of the shoe, this time between Brain Dead and adidas. The last point of visual interest is the solid white heel-tab, which also features Brain Dead’s logo.
The adidas Bowling sneakers will be available for sale later in the year, with an SRP to follow. You can be the first to catch it when it goes live on Dover Street Market’s official webstore.
