WAVE PROPHECY RING MOC SETSUMASA KOBAYASHI — A Collaboration with MOUNTAIN RESEARCH’s Setsumasa Kobayashi

A classic moccasin upper. Yet beneath it sits the WAVE PROPHECY sole — a construction defined by its hollow architecture. This sole achieves an exceptional balance between two seemingly opposing properties: stability and cushioning. It also minimizes the breakdown of the midsole over extended use, maintaining its value as years go by.

The model further incorporates an inner structure derived from the SKY MEDAL, a ring-shaped midfoot strap, and a dual-layer construction pairing a suede upper with a mesh inner — elements that, beneath their quietly refined exterior, are arranged with a remarkably athletic and logical precision.

Setsumasa Kobayashi’s aesthetic of “never becoming outdated” is sustained by intentional design thinking. The WAVE PROPHECY RING MOC is the purest crystallization of that aesthetic. This is not simply a shoe you want to own — it is a shoe whose ownership you can explain. And it is precisely that explanation that continues to elevate the value of what this product represents.
