The recent collaboration between SUICOKE and OTTO 958 has resulted in a unique reinterpretation of the iconic Vibram FiveFingers. This partnership is their first joint effort, launching a design that pushes the boundaries of traditional footwear by playing with functionality amd avant-garde aesthetic.
The Vibram FiveFingers silhouette is known for its toe pockets, designed to mimic the barefoot experience, offering flexibility and ground feel. This collaboration with SUICOKE and OTTO 958 elevates the model by incorporating elements inspired by Japanese workwear and OTTO 958’s experimental approach to design. The result is a mule-style shoe constructed from lightweight nylon, highlighted by vibrant colorways and an embroidered “O” logo, a signature of OTTO 958.

Design cues for this collection were drawn from nitrile-dipped workwear gloves and garments, adding industrial context to the footwear. The emphasis on materials and detailing are a collaborative effort that merges SUICOKE’s bold, functional design with OTTO 958’s playfulness.
