PAIR XXV // Wild Irish Roses
Inspired by Smino’s albums “blkswn” and “noir”, this pair of shoes are about the thrill of infatuation and then cherishing that love once it develops. The colourway is inspired directly from “blkswn” with rich magenta, deep purple and some neutrals for balance. On the left toe a couple of hibiscus are featured, drawn from the Mor Mor cover art for the song “Pass The Hours”. Does the magenta and beige remind you of PAIR II “Peanut Butter and Jelly?” Me too. I love these colours!
