Multifunctional Sleek Laceless Footwear

Kiko Kostadonov's Harkman Shoe has Multiple Capabilities

— October 4, 2021 — Fashion
Bulgarian designer Kiko Kostadinov introduces the new Harkman Shoe model that is a similar design to the look of a low-cut boot for casual wearing. It is reminiscent of the Jehtra silhouette and that can be seed with the tadpole-like rubber plate that can be seen marking the lateral and the medial front quarter panels.

This is applied in a black hue on both of the colorways that the Harkman comes in: Carbon Black and Sleek or Mosstone and Castlerock. The shoes have the same fastening enclosure as the one seen on the Jehtra, wrapping around the tongue section and secured near the collar held by velcro. The upper itself is made from a blend of leather, suede, and mesh.
