For the clasps, Mr. Bank used an Italian manufacturer who made closures for authentic fireman outfits.

NEW YORK – Like the tagline of a horror movie, the shoes... had teeth. At Japanese label Doublet’s fashion show in Paris in January 2025, models tramped out in dress shoes with their toes angled upwards, like the ajar maw of a bass at feeding time.

Shoes with teeth. Shoes with soles at right angles. Shoes made from two shoes. Shintaro Yamamoto is the footwear Dr Frankenstein behind them all. Like the tagline of a horror movie, the shoes ... had teeth.
