AIRWALK CLASSICS / Ripple Slip-On Sneakers

AIRWALK CLASSICS
Launched in the spring/summer season of 2014, this project is led by Japan. Based on the rich archive of the brand, it faithfully reproduces the silhouettes of masterpieces that have colored the times, bringing them back to life in the modern era as a limited line.

The upper is made of short-pile suede leather with a natural appearance. Its rustic atmosphere is a distinctive feature, making it blend well with various outfits.

Long-awaited first reissue
Adam Yauk of the Beastie Boys was also a favorite wearer of the brand’s overwhelmingly popular “Desert Boots” model.

This item, which follows the iconic ripple sole and is arranged as a slip-on, is considered a “phantom model” that existed in the 1990s and cannot be seen even in the vintage market.

Comfortable Fit
Elastic is used on both sides of the mouth for a comfortable fit while ensuring easy removal and wearing. Additionally, the unique look achieved by the wavy cutting is attractive.

A cup insole with excellent breathability and cushioning is used in the insole. It can be removed for maintenance, ensuring hygiene even in humid seasons.

Iconic Sole Shape
The outsole features a shark sole with a characteristic shape resembling shark teeth. The sawtooth-like deep grooves provide excellent slip resistance and cushioning on wet roads and rocky terrain, ensuring comfortable walking.

Shark soles are also called ripple soles because Ripple was the manufacturer of this type of sole at the time.

This item reproduces the atmosphere of that time while updating the wearing comfort. Enjoy this masterpiece.
