Japanese designers are some of the most lauded in our sphere, but some like BLOHM are reserved for those truly in the know. As it gears up for the release of its upcoming Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the niche name has taken to its Instagram account to show off its latest range of out-there footwear, specifically a set of slides informed by MF DOOM’s signature mask.A green synthetic suede base sporting the “BLOHM Made in Tokyo” stamp in metallic gold foil lettering sets the tone for what is a luxurious pair of slides. From here, the brand fits the uppers in red leather on the interior side, carving out the lining for MF DOOM’s mask.The red tone appears underneath the black or silver leather that’s been used for the late rapper’s mask, nodding to the jewels that frequently appeared on the forehead of the mask. Its shape, naturally forming the outline of a face with coverings for the nose, cheekbones, and jawline, lends itself to the shape of the foot, covering the top of your feet to keep them securely in place as there is no front or rear bumper on these slides.Rounding out both pairs is a black EVA shark-finished outsole, adding height and padded comfort to the slides. Take a look at the MF DOOM-honoring pairs above, and expect them to drop in March at retailers such as Supply Tokyo, Better™ Gift Shop, and other retailers primarily in Japan, which can be found on BLOHM’s IG account.
