Calico Jack Editorial: Mizuno Wave Creation Waveknit X Calico Jack

The colour white has always been very interesting to us. With a white object the focus automatically transfers to its design, instead of its colour. In art and architecture, the emphasis of the object is about form, functionality, materials. Light and shadow play makes other aspects of the object stand out: the structure, texture and shape. This Mizuno shoe is the same. Study the sneaker and what catches your eye? The combination of soft and hard materials, the use of geometric forms on an organically knitted upper.

Artists have always used the colour white in a lot of different ways. It makes us look at an object in a way we would not be able to if the artist did use a lot of colour. A building completely packed in white, white pyramids on a wall, white light, hallucinating white cones and of course the white shark. All existing works of art.

These existing works of art inspired us to look at forms and ideas differently, so our aim is to make you, the viewer or the wearer, look at the shoe differently.
