mastermind JAPAN works in collaboration with Suicoke to design the new BOWER BOOT in preparation for the Winter season. The boot draws expertise from both brands and arrives in the colorway options of black, beige, and black and white. All of these options are detailed with the mastermind JAPAN emblem along the padded upper.
Additional details include the midsole layers in white and the aforementioned branding is also done in white to add a stark tonal contrast. The ankles are detailed with cinched details to add more protection from the wet weather conditions that come with winter. Depending on the colorway palette, each midsole is adorned with a different tonal hue -- white on the black colorway and beige on the beige colorway.
