'foot the coacher,' a footwear brand that's based in Japan, recently unveiled its Fall/Winter series.
Each of the styles is constructed intricately from high-end materials, making the footwear pop in foot the coacher's editorial despite its mostly black and white visuals. The series is shown with a clear anarchist theme as well, which is most evident from the slogans that are promoted next to the footwear. This includes phrases like "ANARCHO" and "FCK TRRRSM" with "Resistance to Civil Government" and "Dedicated to Revolution" shown along with it.
The use of acid wash jeans in the editorial also generates this, as well as the chunky platform styles. Although the footwear from the foot the coacher series is mostly black, the designs that are perforated into the glistening leather, paired with the addition of zippers, buckles and elegant laces, make each wholly unique.
