Suicoke and Midorikawa's Furry "FiveFingers" Shoes Release Globally Next Week
The wild pairs arrived last October as an exclusive to Japan.
Update: It’s been a year since Suicoke and Midorikawa unveiled their most unique project to date — an array of faux fur-covered FiveFingers colorways. Now, the Suicoke team has announced that the hit designs are due to arrive on global shelves in new colorways starting on October 26. Suicoke web stores, Dover Street Market Ginza, Paris and Beijing are all listed as stockists as pairs start at a price of $310 USD for the low-tops, $330 USD for the high-tops and go up to $450 USD for the “super-hi” boots.
Original Story: Japan-based Suicoke and Midorikawa have teamed up again, this time to release a third range of their “FiveFingers” shoe, this time covered in faux fur — seemingly inspired by Big Foot and just in time for spooky season.

Following the release of a few non-fur pairs earlier this year, these four turn the wild up a notch, with the Green and Purple fur pairs featuring painted toes, in contrast to two low-cut offerings in Ivory and Gray fur. Like past releases, each of the shoes features Vibram’s MEGAGRIP outsole technology and acts as a functional pair of outdoor shoes.
Retail for the hi-cut models are set at ¥37,400 yen or $250 USD each, with the low-cut examples priced at ¥35,200 yen or $235 USD. All four pairs are expected to be released on October 18 via Dover Street Market Ginza, VELVET and Suicke’s official site.
