Axel Arigato released a limited edition sneaker capsule collection designed in collaboration with fashion visionary, Bloody Osiris.
Together, they launched the ‘Bloody Osiris Earth Lo’ and ‘Bloody Osiris Sand Hi’ – two new limited edition sneakers that marry together the design DNA of Axel Arigato – and the innovative vision and aesthetic of Bloody Osiris.
Bloody Osiris has forged himself as an industry-defining cultural figure across the last decade. Based in New York City, his forward thinking, multi-disciplinary practice has led him to work with some of the pioneering visionaries of our time; Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky and Virgil Abloh to name a few. Osiris has also garnered a loyal following on Instagram, a platform he uses to debut contemporary and avant-garde fashion fits.
Working closely together, the in-house Axel Arigato footwear design team sought to explore and investigate specific and historic silhouettes from within Bloody Osiris’ sneaker research and mood-boarding. To create the final footwear offering, the team zoned in on high tops from 1989’s America (a favourite in Osiris’ repertoire,) merging this aesthetic with the DNA design lines of Axel Arigato.
Bloody Osiris is synonymous with subcultural style and has come to influence and define a huge swathe of fashion’s future. Axel Arigato is incredibly excited to work with him – bringing his bold futuristic vision into the footwear DNA of our brand.

The result is a bold duo of sneakers; Each nod to nostalgic basketball – yet are contemporised through a modern Axel Arigato lens. The sneakers seize the fabric makeup of traditional basketball sneakers – fusing together premium materials including Italian leather, soft nubuck, leather and suede.
The first, the Bloody Osiris Earth Lo, is designed in cream and olive greens, whilst the second, the Bloody Osiris Sand Hi is idealised in brown, sesame and cream. Each have serif ‘Arigato’ branding on the profile upper and rubberised sole – whilst stencilled ‘BLOODY OSIRIS’ typography is added to the tongue. Co-branding logos can also be found on the in-sole.
The Axel Arigato x Bloody Osiris collaboration launched today on 24th June and is priced between €350/£325/$465 and €365/£340/$485. Sneakers are available both online and in-store in London & Paris.
