Kick Off Spring With New Gorgeous Sakura-Themed Shoes!

Kick Off Spring With New Gorgeous Sakura-Themed Shoes!

Under the Onitsuka Tiger brand, the athletic company ASICS began offering gorgeous new pairs of sakura-themed shoes on Apr. 8!

Especially eye-catching are the first two pairs! Available in pink and blue versions, a brilliant gradiation effect grants the shoes a dynamic and refreshing appearance, with the imprints of sakura blossoms scattered throughout the design.

Each petal was painstakingly dyed by expert artisans using the Mount Daisen dyeing process special to Japan’s Tottori prefecture!

The last two pairs are equally visually intriguing, but for their unique textures instead! Splashes of pastels here and there offer a more subtle appearance. Craftsmen worked equally hard on this design, opting to use a traditional (and time-consuming) roketsu dyeing process instead!

All four pairs are available under Onitsuka Tiger’s NIPPON MADE series which uses traditional Japanese craftsmanship as the inspiration behind its themes. What better way to view the cherry blossom trees than with these high quality footwear?
