Nike Cortez - Koinobori
The Cortez has been hit with traditional Japanese elements on the Swooshes such as a black “Koinobori” carp, which is a symbol of Japan’s auspicious Antai.
The carp also signifies the greatness of all fathers.
The minimal white uppers are then finished off with a Japanese antique accessory crafted from cloth, beads, and a leather strap.這一次的客製設計繼續巧用日式元素,並選擇以父親為創作主軸,選用了代表父親的「黑色鯉魚旗」- 真鯉(まごい)向父親致敬。鯉魚是日本一種吉祥安泰的象徵,父母期望孩子們勇敢堅強的願望,正如鯉魚越過激流般,祈望男孩壯健成長,有男孩的家庭都在菖蒲花盛開的季節時,在屋頂上懸掛鯉魚旗來慶祝「男兒節」。
設計方面,由 TFHS 所創作的「鯉魚」圖案巧妙融入了 Nike Cortez 側身的 Swoosh Logo 之中,兩邊鯉魚顔色黑灰調和,展現 TFHS 一貫精細的手繪畫技;而 Simple Union 也為該鞋款特製了一款日本古布貿易珠配飾,能夠隨步履擺動,以此呼應「Koinobori」的鯉魚旗設計。
