Project Onami honors Yasuke, the African samurai who crossed the seas to Japan. His arrival inspired awe — a presence likened to Ryujin and Kaiju. The wave sole recalls his voyage, the scaled heel his legend, and the mesh tongue his armor. The clear vamp reveals calm within chaos, while a single flower marks his belonging to a noble house. Onami moves through history like water — powerful, disciplined, and reborn. Designed for limited-edition luxury release through boutique and art-inspired fashion retailers. Crafted with 3D knit, recycled EVA/rubber, waterproof lining, biodegradable insole.
