Tod’s recently made waves in the fashion industry with the launch of their innovative ‘shoeker’, a hybrid footwear concept designed by the talented Yong Bae Seok. This new addition to the Italian luxury label’s repertoire further solidifies their reputation for creativity and forward-thinking.
The ‘shoeker’ is part of Tod’s Factory womenswear/footwear line, a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas. In line with this ethos, journalist Michele Lupi was appointed as Men’s Collection Visionary, signaling Tod’s dedication to expanding their presence in the market and embracing fresh perspectives.
Yong Bae Seok’s vision for the ‘shoeker’ combines Tod’s traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, resulting in a versatile product that blurs the lines between classic design and contemporary aesthetics. The No_Code project, under which the ‘shoeker’ was created, aims to cater to the modern lifestyle that seamlessly transitions between work and play.
The Shoeker/02, the latest iteration of this revolutionary footwear, boasts a lightweight design with a mix of materials and innovative construction techniques. Scheduled for release in late November, it is poised to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Shoeker/01, which quickly became a fan favorite.
With Yong Bae Seok at the helm of the No_Code project, Tod’s is set to explore new horizons not only in footwear but also in accessories like backpacks and jackets. His rich experience in the fashion industry, coupled with Tod’s legacy of quality craftsmanship, promises a bright future for the brand as they continue to challenge norms and redefine the fashion landscape.
