Color: Poggy Brown

Checkmate Driver continues Coco Capitán’s Checkmate Fencer series in a driving-inspired form, co-created with Poggy, EPT Japan’s Creative Director. It translates the series’ rugged lug outsole into a lower, more grounded silhouette, pairing suede, TPU paneling, and a rounded heel for control, grip, and easy wear.

Country of origin: China

why we like it

The Checkmate Driver has a strange balance in the best way: part driving shoe, part trail reference, part design object. The suede upper keeps it soft, the TPU panels add structure, and the rounded heel gives the shoe its driving-inspired shape. It feels low and precise, but the lugged sole keeps it grounded.
