UNDERCOVER x Melissa Drop Futuristic Footwear

Japanese brand UNDERCOVER is joining forces with Gen Z-favorite Melissa, stepping into a sci-fi future for its footwear collaboration.

The Brazilian label is known for its glossy shoes, crafted from 100 percent recycled PVC, Melflex®. Merging the brand's quintessential early aughts aesthetic with a rough and ready approach, the joint collection nods to sartorial juxtaposition, celebrating both hard and soft edges. Spikes are a recurring theme as the chunky Spikes boot turns function and form on its head, featuring the pointy shapes on the sides for extra protection, while laces appear on the back of the shoe's silhouette.

Warm weather-ready sandals continue carrying the collection's gritty energy, bearing an abundance of large, geometric spikes alongside practical buckles. Elsewhere, other footwear options take a romantic approach as slides are adorned with oversized roses and thorns. Grounding the assortment of shoes is the Together handbag, boasting a razor sharp ribbon and matching barbs.

UNDERCOVER x Melissa's collaboration will be available on Wednesday, February 8 at a select number of stores.
