No one will confuse Ato Matsumoto sneakers with any other brand. So far, most of what we’ve seen have been flashy hightops that incorporate alot of Velcro. These new joints eschew the hook and loop but do nothing to make themselves less distinct. The Ato Matsumoto Original Leather series features three lowtops masquerading as the super high cut kicks du jour. Each is styled in rich leather with tonal suede overlays and derives its signature look from the extended tongue and eyelets that make them look high from the front but more like the typical lowtop height around the ankle/heel. Three pairs are available: white, brown or black, and are available now from Japanese e-store Rowgage. via Freshness

ugly, I don’t know what’s with Japanese people and the giant tongues on shoes? I live in Tokyo and everybody’s all about popping the tongues on their shoes. All the shoes that are Japanese-made are merely rip-offs of some other company’s just with a slight change. (although UBIQ and Visvim have some original stuff)
