Takashi Murakami has spent decades reimagining what art can be — from gallery walls to Louis Vuitton bags to BLACKPINK collaborations. Last year, he stepped into footwear with Ohana Hatake, his shoe brand, available to shop on Complex.
The Ohana Full-Bloom represents Murakami's vision of what a sneaker should be when an artist builds it from scratch. Launched in November 2024, Ohana Hatake isn't a collaboration or a licensed partnership. It's Murakami's own label, which means every detail—from the silhouette's curves to the color blocking—carries his signature approach to form and color. The brand name itself, "Ohana Hatake," translates to "field of flowers" in Japanese, a direct nod to the flower motifs that have defined Murakami's work for decades.
The Full-Bloom silhouette takes that floral concept literally. The shoe's construction features layered panels that mimic petals opening, with a chunky sole that grounds the design in contemporary sneaker culture. It's unmistakably Murakami—bold, playful, and rooted in the visual language he's been refining for decades. This isn't just another artist slapping their name on a shoe. It's Murakami translating his artistic philosophy into a wearable form.
Where can I buy the Ohana Full-Bloom slide?
The Ohana Full-Bloom is available on Complex in two colorways: Moonlit Blue and Sangria. Both colorways feature the signature layered construction and Murakami's attention to how colors interact across different materials. If you're ready to add Takashi Murakami's footwear to your collection, shop the Ohana Full-Bloom on Complex.
