Controversial Indiana streetwear brand KITO WARES unveils a new sneaker to close out the year 2021. Following the Tribes « Mother Mary » and Passion of Christ « Resurrection Day » released during the fall (article available HERE), a sneaker named « Afterlife » is proposed to us.
KITO WARES dares to make a parallel between the idolization of brands and that of Christ.
The designer David Norris continues to start the discussion and create discord with his sneakers and clothes creations.
With this new shoe named « Afterlife », the Indiana brand focuses on the afterlife. To develop this special edition, KITO WARES was inspired by the two opposing universes « after death » : heaven and hell.
It consists of a detachable canvas upper that reveals the hell under the sky. More precisely, the first layer represents a blue sky with touches of white color resembling clouds. Once this heavenly layer is removed, hell is revealed in a flamboyant combination of red, orange, yellow and brown accents. To highlight this bold design, the other elements of the sneaker, such as the side netting, tongue, inner lining and sole, are presented in pristine white.
The pair will come in a special collectible box and accompanied by a virtual reality headset.
The KITO WARES « Afterlife » will be released on December 31, 2021 at 5:00 pm EST for a price of 150$, via prior registration on the brand’s website kito.online/password. First come, first served… Be crisp !
