Kukini

I dabbled in the sneakerhead society some years back, but never got like obsessed. You know those types....they'd skip eating for a week for a pair of kicks. Crazy talk. Anyway, I was reading a post on rad blog Through a Glass Darkly today, in which she references Yui, a cool blogger in Tokyo and I was reminded of Nike's Kukini model, a futuristic slip-on style that first came out in 1998. Now you're lucky if you find a few pairs floating around ebay, but after doing a quick search, I learned that Nike is releasing a new version of the Kukini this spring with an update to the sole that kind of resembles teeth. I could definitely get down with these!
