These shoes are inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's woodblock print, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. In the original work, the famous Japanese ukiyo-e artist created the piece in the late Edo period where an enormous wave threatens three boats off of the cost of Sagami Bay while in the background Mount Fuji can be seen rising. The design is created using industrial composite material and is not painted. We buy each pair of shoes BRAND NEW.
