Luxferity, 08.09.2025
In a bold statement that bridges high fashion with architectural design, UNDERCOVER and Tokyo-based footwear label grounds unveiled their latest collaboration to coincide with UNDERCOVER’s Fall/Winter 2025 menswear collection “Interface.” Launchen on Saturday, July 26, this release continues the evolution of luxury footwear as a medium for sculptural expression.

A Reimagined ORCA Silhouette
The collaboration draws inspiration from grounds’ acclaimed “ORCA” series, a line celebrated for its dramatic, voluminous outsole design. The new edition introduces a high-cut upper, transforming the sneaker into a boot-like silhouette that balances refinement with avant-garde impact.

Crafted in stretch-knit material for an adaptive, glove-like fit, the design retains grounds’ chunky cushioned sole, ensuring comfort without compromising its bold, architectural profile. Offered in black and dark brown, the understated palette enhances the piece’s versatility, making it a sophisticated choice for any Fall/Winter wardrobe.

The ORCA Philosophy
The ORCA series carries a singular philosophy: “Wear the soles, not the shoes.” Its transparent, sculptural outsole seemingly swallows the upper, recalling the weightless yet powerful movement of an orca gliding through water. With a heel height of approximately 7 cm, the ORCA silhouette merges presence and lightness — a rare alchemy in luxury footwear.

Built on the philosophy of “LEAP GRAVITY,” the label reconceptualizes the point of contact between humans and the earth, proposing a new language for how footwear interacts with motion, weight, and style.

A Dialogue Between Design and Culture
With this collaboration, Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER once again reaffirms its role as a boundary-pushing house within contemporary fashion. By merging UNDERCOVER’s darkly poetic aesthetic with grounds’ sculptural vision, the collaboration creates footwear that is not only functional, but emblematic of the future of luxury menswear.
