Takashi Murakami's iconic flower design has found its way onto footwear, creating a vibrant and playful aesthetic that resonates with fans worldwide. Following the success of the initial Ohana Full-Bloom slide, Murakami extends his collaboration horizon by partnering with global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK.
This collaboration introduces a two-tone colorway that perfectly embodies the essence of BLACKPINK. The slide features an EVA foam construction, ensuring both comfort and style. The forefoot strap is adorned with a pink Murakami flower, set against a striking black and pink color scheme that subtly nods to the K-pop group's identity. While the slide itself opts for a more understated approach to branding, focusing on the visual harmony of Murakami's design and the group's signature colors, the packaging promises to deliver a more explicit connection. It boasts co-branded details that celebrate the union of Takashi Murakami's artistic flair and BLACKPINK's global influence.
The BLACKPINK x Takashi Murakami Ohana Full-Bloom slide will release on April 11, 2024, exclusively through the Complex Shop online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. Stay up-to-date with the latest in sneaker releases, raffles, and streetwear trends by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
