Brain Dead has just shared a closer look at its entry into Vibram Lab’s FiveFingers anniversary exhibition that took place in Milan. Brain Dead has incorporated traditional Japanese geta footwear where the top has a full Vibram FiveFingers rubber sole engraved into its wooden surface. This carved-out space perfectly hugs an actual pair of FiveFingers and comes together for an interesting appearance of wood and rubber.

The bottom sees rubber on the “teeth” of the clogs and co-branding in the form of Vibram’s crest logo and Brain Dead head motif.
