oki-ni news January 10

Rick Owens SS10
We are the first place in the world to put the Rick Owens SS10 collection online on pre-order. Some amazing pieces for Spring Summer. The collection is Rick’s tribute to the “American Tourist”… lots of denim layered over jersey t-shirts, classic gothy Rick boots and oversized hi-tops.

Phil Manzanera
I was fortunate enough to meet up with Roxy Music’s legendary guitarist Phil Manzanera earlier this month, to discuss a special project that we are working on for early next year. I can’t tell you too much about it yet, only that it is going to be an amazing tribute to Manzanera’s solo work. Whilst not as well know as his work in Roxy Music, Manzanera produced a string of solo albums that were incredible groundbreaking and influenced musicians from all across genres. 1977’s “Listen Now” is just one example..
Register your interest here and we’ll let you know when we have more news!

Boldstar
BOLDSTAR* is a new footwear brand available only at oki-ni. We’ve got 2 models in – the low Cupu shoe, and the Gila boot. The light colour palette and unique structure detailing make these a must – especially at this price point.

Old Curiosity Shop
London’s shoemaker Daita Kimura’s “The Old Curiosity Shop” is rather special… a far cry from a standard shoe-shop, Kimura’s establishment is housed inside a 500 year old building made famous from the Charles Dickens novel of the same name. Kimura turned the building into a shoe shop in 1992, and has been making some amazing footwear there ever since. He has collaborated with a number of brands in the past (including Trickers and Blaak) with great results. They are working on a number of special edition items of clothing and footwear for us that should arrive early next year. In the meantime check out their website!
