Ato Matsumoto’s take on a sneaker has produced a stunning and functional styled piece of footwear that has yet hardly made it out of Japan until now. The brand got a lot of press last year after Kanye West was seen rocking the Ato Cow Hide Boots.
For 2008 the Japanese designer presents a new set of Cow Hide Boots consisting of a black, white and all silver colorway. It features 2 velcro straps and comes in a mix of patent leather and regular premium leather.
These three colorways will be released at Rowgage on 4th of April. Check them out in detail after the jump.

We presented you the Ato Matsumoto Cow Hide Boot a while ago. The sneaker got some fame after Kanye West was seen wearing them a couple of times, including in one of his last videos. Until now it was very hard, if not impossible, to come across them outside of Japan. Now Oki-Ni is offering them exclusively online as an pre-order.

If you have seen some of Kanye West’s latest appearances then you might have noticed the sneakers that he has been wearing a lot lately – hi-tops by Ato Matsumoto. They come in three colorways – red, black and white. Also the sneakers feature 2 velcro straps and come in a mix of patent leather and regular premium leather. The style comes close to what we have seen from Etnies Plus actually. Let’s wait and see if these will end up in stores outside of Japan any time soon. Via uSnob.
After the jump many more pics and details on the Ato Matsumoto sneakers.
