AMIRI and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro come together for an exclusive sneaker collaboration, bringing their recognizable design elements into a single, reimagined silhouette. This partnership introduces a limited-edition release that integrates the signature details of both brands, offering a fresh take on their most well-known sneaker models.
SNEAKERS
At the foundation of the collaboration are AMIRI’s Skel Top-Low and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro’s OG Sole Sneakers ‘PETERSON.’ Both styles reflect the distinct creative identities of their respective brands while maintaining a shared emphasis on craftsmanship and innovation. Mike Amiri and Mihara Yasuhiro’s DIY-inspired design philosophies converge in this project, combining material experimentation with an appreciation for subcultural influences. The result is a sneaker that connects AMIRI’s Los Angeles roots with Maison Mihara Yasuhiro’s Tokyo origins, forming a dialogue between two different fashion landscapes.
A standout feature of this sneaker is the inclusion of Maison Mihara Yasuhiro’s sculpted ‘original sole,’ which is first handcrafted from clay before being transformed into a rubber mold. This artisanal approach to sole construction is paired with AMIRI’s signature nappa leather ‘Bones’ appliqué, which is stitched onto a durable canvas upper. The fusion of these elements brings together the defining characteristics of both brands, reinforcing their shared appreciation for craftsmanship and unconventional design methods.
Additional details include co-branded woven labels on the tongue and heel, further emphasizing the collaborative effort behind the sneaker. Every aspect of the design reflects an intentional mix of influences, from the construction techniques to the material choices. The end result is a sneaker that stands as both a creative statement and a collector’s item, reflecting the legacy and expertise of both brands.
Offered in two contrasting colorways, white with black detailing and an inverted version, the sneaker is released in limited quantities worldwide. Select AMIRI’s boutiques will carry the design, while in Japan, it will be available exclusively at Maison Mihara Yasuhiro stores. The restricted distribution increases the sneaker’s exclusivity, making it a sought-after piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
