We've already seen mastermind JAPAN cloak silhouettes from Vans and Reebok in their dastardly all black, skull-and-crossbones motif in recent months, and now, in a new collaboration with Buscemi, the cult brand again demonstrates that not even the luxe-fashion world is safe from its dark wizardry.

For the cross-cultural, high-top trainer, the Tokyo brand builds on their previous fall collection; bringing along a knowledge of Japan's insurgent take on streetwear, while Buscemi pitches in with Italian craftsmanship and American attitude. Featuring an all-leather upper, the shoe comes equipped with the signature Buscemi lock in silver rather than gold, with slick mastermind JAPAN engraving.

The unmistakable skull-and-crossbones then features on the tongue and adorning clochette, with a white sole finish added for further contrast.

The mastermind Japan X Buscemi sneaker drops September 16, and is available for purchase via Buscemi's online webstore.
