[J-Fashion] Awesome New Shoes from YOSUKE! Could You Walk in These?

Some shoes are fun just to look at--whether or not you think you could wear them in real life! Tokyo-based brand YOSUKE makes boots, sneakers, and heels ranging from quirky yet practical to totally outrageous (in a good way!). Here's a sneak peek at their Spring/Summer 2016 collection.


These hefty lace-up platforms come in bold solid colors, but you can also opt for a few different patterns. The version second from the left might be fun to pair with the Pastel Leopard Hoodie by popular Harajuku brand galaxxxy.


The shoes on the left side and the right side of the pic have different lace-up styles.


The one multicolored boot really stands out--it would be really eye-catching with a neutral outfit.


These tough-looking boots might appeal to fans of SEX POT ReVeNGe, a clothing & accessories brand known for its signature freewheeling mixture of Japanese punk & Goth style.


Because you can never have enough buckles, straps, or chains.


The intense kitten print takes these boots right over the top. There are seriously no words to express how much we love it! Do you know anyone who could pull these off in an everyday setting?


These boots make a statement, but they're almost subdued compared to some of YOSUKE's other designs!


Comfortable-looking ankle-high platforms. The clean design serves as an effective canvas (no pun intended) for the intricate artwork on the sides.


Would you refer to these as sandals or sneakers?


The color combinations aren't for everyone, but we have a feeling that people who like them will be totally into them!


These open-toed clogs also feature a mixture of contrasting colors and patterns. But the sleek structure makes them feel totally different from the sneakers in the previous pics.


Maybe monochrome shoes are more your style?


Not everything YOSUKE makes is in black and white or primary colors. These classy sneakers come in off-white, pastel lavender, and mint green--all colors commonly found in the fairy kei style pioneered by milklim.


These sneakers look like a redesigned version of another chunky, elaborately patterned pair currently available on the TOM Premium Shop.


One of our favorite silhouettes--we don't know what to call it, but we love the dramatically cut gap between the sole platform and the heel.


YOSUKE's take on a slightly more feminine shoe--both delicate and edgy.


These flower-adorned heels might even work well with Lolita fashion.


And here's a solid, super-wearable boot designed with a pretty flower print that wouldn't look out of place on a LIZ LISA dress. We could imagine incorporating these into a soft, natural mori girl look--maybe by coordinating them with clothing from earth music&ecology. But they would also go great with even more relaxed, androgynous clothes.

We'll be adding many of these YOSUKE designs to the TOM Premium Shop when they get officially released next spring. Even if you couldn't imagine yourself actually wearing these, we hope you had fun checking out the photos! As a brand beloved by Harajuku trendsetters, YOSUKE frequently appears in magazines like KERA. So if you read any Japanese fashion publications, you might be able to make a game of spotting YOSUKE shoes in their pages!

Here's our current line-up of YOSUKE shoes and boots. And if you're a shoe lover, you might be interested in seeing all of our Japanese-designed shoes, including styles from much-loved clothing brands like Swankiss and LIZ LISA. Let us know if you have any requests for other brands, too, and we'll see what we can do!

Thanks for reading, and see you again soon!
