The first model, EXC-02: "Walk The Talk", lives up to its name with a sleek yet functional design. Crafted from a mix of durable ripstop fabric and premium suede paneling, the EXC-02 offers a refined yet rugged look. Subtle pink accents add a touch of softness to the shoe’s strong silhouette, creating a balanced contrast. What sets the EXC-02 apart is its unique lace lock system — not only does it keep the laces tidy, but it also adds a modern edge to the overall aesthetic. The finishing touch comes with the AGAINST logo printed on the heel tab, marking the shoe’s authenticity and connection to the brand’s legacy.
Both pairs come packaged in specially designed shoe boxes that feature AGAINST’s iconic mascot, A-Man, depicted on a journey from the jungle to the city. This imagery symbolizes the idea that no matter where life takes us, we continue talking and walking — staying true to our purpose and voice. For those who collect both pairs, placing the shoeboxes together reveals the full illustrated design, further emphasizing the collection’s underlying story. This thoughtful detail highlights AGAINST and KANKY’s commitment to merging creativity with storytelling.
