Adding to the collection

Finally, there is an additional colour way to the Ato cow hide boot made popular by the "Louis Vuitton Don" himself, Kanye West. This black, purple, and green combination features the classic Ato double velcro strap with a mix of patent and generic premium leather. Personally, I'm not blown away by the colour way like I was for the original 4 colours that were released (check out an earlier Ato Matsumoto post located on the right, under the music player); it's way too random. But, I guess that's the point. We can all agree this is a piece of footwear made for someone who enjoys and/or craves attention. To be released March'09; save up.

Give an Ayo for Ato!

Soooo these were the kicks that Mr.West (style genius, well him + his stylists) wore in the video for his #1 hit "Stronger". I swear, that video made the shutter shades by Jeremy Scott in vogue again, and now these masterpieces a peasant would merely call "shoes". These are the Ato Cow Hide Boot by Japanese designer Ato Matsumoto. No surprise to me, but they have only been released in Japan, and aren't gonna be released in the U.S. or even Europe till Jan. of next year. Crazy. You can pre-order though on oki-ni.com, but don't expect to be top of the list - every tasteful sneaker freak and Kanye style fan are wanting these. I'm a sucker for silver highs but the red's are unreal. Patent detailing on the side and on the 2 insane velcro straps are SO nice. Them being made of cow hide - you know they are quality. Expect to pay juuuuust under $400US for sneaks of this caliber. checkem exclusively at oki-ni.com
