The New Issey Miyake Designs Feature Solid Colorways and Unique Shapes

For the new Issey Miyake footwear collection, the Japanese fashion designer and fragrance creator joined up with United Nude, a design company that's best known for its intricate high heels.

The selection comes available in a multitude of vibrant monochrome colorways, with highlighter green and blue in addition to neon pink and yellow. For those who value unconventional footwear that's a little less overt, the white, beige and black models are suitable alternatives as well.

No matter the color, each of the 'TEN SEN MEN' models from the new Issey Miyake collection features a chunky durable design, with a structural shape that simultaneously supports the feet. In addition to the TEN SEN MEN series, the new Issey Miyake collection includes the 'WRAP' shoes, which come in both flats and heels.
