The collection features an array of colorways in both low-top and high-top styles. The shoes incorporate Vibram's MEGAGRIP outsole technology, designed for outdoor use. Prices range from $310 USD for low-tops to $450 USD for the "super-hi" boots.

Available stockists include Suicoke web stores and select Dover Street Market locations in Ginza, Paris, and Beijing.

The line expands on previous non-fur versions released earlier this year. Notable designs include green and purple fur models with painted toes, as well as ivory and gray low-cut options.

This collaboration marks the third iteration of Suicoke and Midorikawa's "FiveFingers" project. The unusual aesthetic of these shoes draws comparisons to mythical creatures, coinciding with the autumn season.

The initial release in Japan saw prices of ¥37,400 (approximately $250 USD) for high-top models and ¥35,200 (about $235 USD) for low-tops.

Suicoke, based in Japan, has built a reputation for unconventional footwear designs. This latest offering continues their trend of pushing boundaries in shoe aesthetics and functionality.
