The capsule features playful designs like the MISS JANE pump and ADOLON sneaker adorned with Sudo’s flower. Some pieces, including the KATE pump are hand-painted by Sudo in limited quantities. The collection launches in Japan on March 8th and globally on March 13th, promising a colorful dive into Louboutin and Sudo’s optimistic worlds.
