These new shoes from Japanese brand Terrem come in three different colorways. The Terrem Kallen looks like part sneaker, part boot and part boat shoe. The result is a versatile shoe that you can wear with a variety of different outfits.
The Kalln features their famous Vibram sole. These shoes feature leather and nubuck uppers in black, mustard and red.
I actully prefer the black version, which has blue trim, but all the shoes are pretty nice looking. The red isn’t for me because it’s too monochromatic, but I can see how others might like it. Grab these now from eproze.
