J Shoes x Metro.Pop Magazine: Mpj Boot by Ami Kealoha
by Mat Lyon
J Shoes recently collaborated with Los Angeles, CA-based magazine metro.pop to produce the limited edition Mpj Boot.
With the market saturated by minimally shaped and starkly-colored offerings, we like the refreshing leap back to the roots of shoe design. The Mpj boot reverently bows its head to Native America with its premium leather construction, removable fringe, sock liner made from recycled material and dynamic sole illustration by California-based artist Joe Suitor. (Click images for detail.)
J Shoes are also collaborating with designer Carlos Campos on an exclusive range for his upcoming NYC fashion week show. To find retailers near you and discover more about J Shoes contact +1 410 902 0584 or visit their site.
