NEW ROCK Reveals Misa Inspired DEATH NOTE Collab Boots
Japanese alternative fashion brand QOOZA has teamed up with Spanish footwear manufacturer NEW ROCK as part of a special fashion line based on the hit psychological thriller series “DEATH NOTE.”
The new collection focuses heavily on the distinct gothic aesthetic of the popular idol character Misa Amane.
“DEATH NOTE” is a highly successful manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata.
The gripping story follows a high school student named Light Yagami who discovers a supernatural notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written within its pages.
Misa plays a crucial role in the plot, earning a dedicated fanbase not only for her fierce devotion to Light Yagami but also for her iconic punk and gothic inspired wardrobe.
The centerpiece of this new collaboration is a pair of heavy-duty ankle boots that seamlessly translate her dark, striking presence into real-world fashion.
NEW ROCK is famous worldwide for its alternative, gothic, and cyberpunk footwear designs, making them the perfect partner to bring Misa’s style to life.
Their custom DEATH NOTE shoes feature an imposing silhouette accented with heart and cross charms attached to silver chains.
The thick soles also feature a molded series logo to complete the exclusive design.
