A memory transformed into craftsmanship: the boot that a father imagined so he could never stop walking alongside his son Yoshi.
A memory transformed into craftsmanship: the boot that a father imagined so he could never stop walking alongside his son Yoshi.
Yoshi, whose real name was Yoshizumi Sasaki, was a young singer chosen as the winning vocalist in the talent show ‘YOSHIKI SUPERSTAR PROJECT X’, a programme conceived and produced by Yoshiki to form a new rock band.
On 5 November, during the final phase of the project, Yoshi tragically passed away in a motorbike accident. He was 19 years old.
His death deeply affected the music world and fans of the programme, because many believed that he was destined to give voice to an unfulfilled dream.
At the funeral ceremony, held on 14 November, at the request of the family, several pieces of music composed by Yoshiki with Yoshi on vocals were played — a way to give voice to their memories and treat them artistically.
The family also expressed their desire for the project to continue: a new audition would be held to find a voice that could “complete” the song that Yoshi had sung only one verse of, so as to give continuity to the interrupted dream.
Yoshi’s story is that of a talented young man who, just as he was about to make his debut, saw his voice cut short too soon — yet his memory has been honoured through the music he had just begun to perform.
From memory to idea
Alex asked us to create something that would go beyond a simple accessory.
He wanted every step to be a way of feeling Yoshi by his side, continuing to walk together.
The project takes shape
We listened to his vision, gathered the details, and imagined lines and proportions that would reflect Yoshi’s style and strength.
From the first sketches to the final model, every stage was guided by one purpose: to turn a feeling into a timeless object.
Craftsmanship that brings memory to life
Our artisans cut, stitched, and finished the leather with utmost care.
Each step was carried out by hand, with the same dedication used to preserve something precious.
The result is a unique boot — strong, meaningful, and enduring: a tribute that protects and accompanies.
A symbol for those who love Yoshi
This is not just a boot.
It is a way to carry Yoshi with you, every single day.
A bond that continues, step by step, through all who followed and loved him.
