Chris Brown is again making waves in the footwear world, and this time it’s with the Freq Nami Boots—futuristic foam creations that look like they could have come straight out of a science-fiction film. If you thought the viral Nami slides were something to behold, these boots are a whole new ballgame.
Collaborating with John Dean and The Auracles, they designed the Nami boots to be thoroughly contemporary in both form and function. They are 3D-printed; they are biodegradable; they are ultramodern in aesthetic. In other words, they are more or less what a scholar of modernism would create if asked to envision a piece of footwear. These things are chunky, sculptural, and almost alien-like, with their layered textures and sharp angles making them look like topographical maps for your feet.
The boots, in black, play with light such that every ridge stands out. Their appearance is bulky, but they are surprisingly lightweight, a fact attributable to their foam construction.
Also noteworthy is the packaging, which is pretty slick—because, of course, presentation matters.
These boots aren’t for everyone, let’s be real. They firmly occupy the lane of futuristic, high-fashion-meets-streetwear designs, much like Kanye’s YEEZY creations. But if you live for experimental footwear, or just want to be the center of attention whenever you leave the house, the Nami Boots might just be your next golden ticket.
What do you think about this? Would you wear a pair of Chris Brown Freq Nami Boots, or are these boots too crazy for your style?
