This collaboration between LOWA and AFFXWRKS reimagines tactical boots developed for military and professional use, infusing them with the AFFX aesthetic. LOWA's "Task Force" series features high-performance models designed for military and police use. The "Zephyr" series, in particular, excels in durability and mobility, and has been adopted by US special forces and the German Bundeswehr. In this collaboration, AFFXWRKS reconstructs these professional-grade LOWA shoes. Minimalist details, such as a lace cover, are added, preserving the military functionality while refining the silhouette for everyday wear. The GORE-TEX liner provides waterproof protection. The affix logo-embossed lace cover is removable. Size: UK10 / JP28.1 (as indicated on the tag) The sizing is unconventional, likely due to the military shoe design. The fit feels like a 28.5 (Japanese size). For someone who typically wears 27.5-28cm sneakers, the fit is snug with thick military or hiking socks, and more relaxed with thinner socks. Purchased because I like affx wrks, which Kiko Kostadinov is also involved in, but I haven't worn them beyond trying them on, as I already own similar Nike military shoes. Retail Price: ¥49,500
