STuREET is a pioneer in the Japanese custom sneaker world, having released numerous works to the world. Recently released, the brand has upgraded its signature design "DROP" with the new "FLOWDOWN" design, releasing a custom model based on the OG colorway AJ1 HIGH MIDNIGHT NAVY CO JP, available only in Japan. While retaining the lineage of the original, this ambitious design features extensive processing from the upper to the sole. The new "FLOWDOWN" model, the AJ1 HI MIDNIGHT NAVY FLOWDOWN, which depicts ink dripping from each part, is now available for purchase at the STuREET official online store (https://customshoes.thebase.in).
The AJ1 HIGH OG MIDNIGHT NAVY CO JP also attracted attention for the special duralumin case it came with. This time, there are two versions available: a special version with a case, and the regular version without a case. The version with a case makes a great gift.
The silver Swoosh and base colors of navy and white are used to create the appearance of ink dripping from each. This latest model features a more realistic depiction of ink dripping than the previous model, and the three-dimensional paintwork results in a more sophisticated design. Furthermore, painting on nubuck fabric necessitates multiple coats of paint, making it an intricately crafted shoe that requires a high level of skill to apply the same paint multiple times to the same area.
Furthermore, in order to create this model, it was necessary to mix paint the same color as the body to create the appearance of ink dripping from the body, and a thin airbrush painting technique was required to eliminate the brushstrokes. The work was carried out by a total of seven people, including designer Rita, as well as key members Kazuki and Satoru, all of whom use professional techniques trained by Rita to create the shoes.
