Wearing the Sole, Not the Shoe
This series features an exaggerated outsole that boldly engulfs the upper, making the sole the star of the design.
Inspired by the image of an orca—massive yet graceful in motion—the silhouette pairs a chunky, cushioned midsole with a transparent outsole, offering a sense of visual lightness in line with other grounds collections.
The upper is a soft, high-cut knit featuring a striking front zipper for added impact. The UNDERCOVER logo is printed along the side of the outsole, subtly marking the collaboration.
Heel height is approximately 7 cm, delivering both stature and comfort.
