References: place-aomori & hypebeast
Kei Hashimoto's label CarService works in collaboration with Bobby Yamamoto and the upcoming label BLOHM to create a pair of the Passing loafers. The silhouette comes in a steel grey hue with reflective details that stem from Blohm's shoe expertise.
The shoes are made with 7w corduroy materials and are complete with reflective leather materials for a premium and bold touch. The stitching lines boast reflective detail and the left and right forefoot spotlights the notable Akira-inspired pill emblem stitched along. The name of the shoe references the concept of flashing headlights when getting into a car. The reflective details are hidden during the day and as it hits the night lights of the Tokyo streets, it shines through.
