Figo Co., Ltd. will release "THE CAGE," a collaboration sneaker between Italian sneaker brand "HIDE & JACK" and former German national soccer player Mesut Ozil, at Hankyu Men's Tokyo and Hankyu Men's Osaka.

Purchasers will receive a free autograph from Mesut Ozil, with five winners at each venue, for a total of 10 winners.


The design concept of "THE CAGE" comes from the "Monkey Cage," the wire-enclosed soccer field where Mesut Özil started playing soccer as a poor child.

The gold foil on the heel represents the wire mesh, and the color combination of dark blue and white leather represents the city of Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where he grew up.


Each and every one of these sneakers is made by hand in Italy by artisans. All of our products, including our original crocodile-embossed leather and soft calf leather, are made from Italian leather, and we are committed to being 100% Made in Italy.
