LACELIFT

LACELIFT asks what happens when the lace stops being an accessory and becomes the shoe. One continuous cord weaves the entire upper — looping toe to heel through rows of studded anchors, cinched by a single toggle at the throat. Tension is the structure: pull once and the whole surface tightens around the foot like a drawn net. Underneath, a leaf-veined sole carries the same organic logic to the ground.
