To add to its premium selection of Spring/Summer 2020 goods, Yohji Yamamoto unveils the Nylon Ox sneaker to the lineup. The sneakers are inspired by boxing shoes and comes in the colorway options of either red or blue, boasting a high-top silhouette.
It is made from padded canvas fabric materials and each pair features hand-scribbled graphics throughout. Both of the tonal options are complete with a black outsole foundation and heel collar. The black hue travels to the laces as well to add some contrast to the bright base foundations. Notably, the footwear sits on the brand's custom articulated Vibram rubber sole unit. The Nylon Ox Graphic shoes are now available online at retailers including SSENSE.
