United Arrows & Sons and SearchNDesign present the new Bifida sneaker
Two brands together for a unique project that reworks the classic shoe “Tabi”
June 12th, 2017
In 2016, during Pitti, Poggy, creative director of United Arrows & Sons, always looking for new ideas and new ideas, meets the SearchNDesign team, a multidisciplinary collective of anonymous design that has helped bring brands such as Lardini, Fear Of God, Greats and Nicholas Wooster.
The agreement is immediate and the two companies decide to join forces to create an exclusive project.
The result is Bifida, a cutting-edge sneaker that blends past, present and future.
The inspiration for the new sneaker that will be available in stores from the end of the month comes, in fact, from the Tabi footwear dating from the Heian period, almost 1200 years ago.
Bifida combines the best aspects of Japanese iconic culture: the great respect for its traditions, fashion, street style and contemporary design.
