HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE‘s CIOCCOLATO shoes are a sculptural take on the classic lace-up, inspired by the form and texture of a chocolate bar. Its standout feature is the distinctive toe design, which fuses an oblique toe – angled from the big toe to the little toe – with a chiseled edge silhouette, creating a sharp yet softened profile. The shoes come fitted with a concealed “fly-front” lace system, minimizing decorative elements for a clean, sculptural look. The upper is crafted from matte materials that emphasize the sculptural lines, while the outsole’s squared edge frames the shoe in a way that echoes the segmented geometry of chocolate.
Coming in three classic colorways spanning Vanilla, Dark Cacao and Black, each variant is named to evoke the richness and variety of chocolate. The finish is understated yet refined, with a matte surface that balances formality and playfulness. Branding remains subtle, in keeping with Issey Miyake‘s philosophy of design-led minimalism, allowing the silhouette and materiality to speak for themselves.
