Hajime Sorayama’s work is well-renowned, his robotic femme and “superrealism” an inspiration for not only artists but designers as well. For example, the Japanese artist was previously tapped for a collaboration with Dior, which saw the iconic saddle bag lensed fully through his world. Here, the Mizuno Wave Prophecy sees a similar treatment, casting its parts in metal as per Sorayama’s direction.
Though not the first time the two have worked together, this release sees the model clad in a blacked out colorway. The softer, smoother parts of the construction, however, proffer a subtle gradient, their grey-dominant finishes a stark contrast to the darker fixtures like the lace unit and elastic collar. And between the upper and tread, the midsole and heel clip blend in a taste of classic silver, ensuring its designer’s original vision is not at all compromised.
Enjoy a detailed look at the pair here and sit tight as they’re expected to hit US and EU retailers tomorrow. November 5th.
