TANJIN
CROSS
A high-top custom built at the intersection of factory precision and street wear. Exposed hardware, red structural stitching, and a metal manufacture plate engraved with the EVERLOST seal.
Where the factory
meets the street.
Tanjin Cross treats the shoe as a small piece of architecture. The clips that hold the swoosh are visible. The red layer between the panels is visible. The serial plate is visible. Nothing is hidden inside - the construction is the decoration.
The dual lace system pairs waxed cotton with raw rope - function and ornament fighting for the same eyelets. A small hook lives on the back of the heel so the pair can be hung on a wall like a tool or more like a relic.
Six angles.

A laser-engraved aluminum plate sits at the heel. EVERLOST Manufacture, 2024, Tianjin - London. The seal carries the kanji 速さは美学 - speed is aesthetics.
