Drawing inspiration from Californian classic shoe models, “The Ollie” is a low-top shoe meant to capture the mountainous ranges of water throughout California. First seen by FN earlier this year, the shoes are crafted in a black and white colorway, the shoe style boasts a pointed rubber upper, a lace-up closure and a thick platform outsole that measures approximately 2-inches in height. The Nahimas branded logo can also be seen on the outsole of the shoe alongside a padded midsole, with the shoe checking the comfort box thanks to its padded midsole.

Machine Gun Kelly paired his shoes with oversized denim blue shorts and a t-shirt over a long sleeve shirt.

Machine Gun Kelly is an artist who likes to experiment with his fashion choices the same way he does his music. For his second annual Machine Gun Kelly Day last August, the star wore a pair of combat boots from Rick Owens and Dr. Martens’ 2022 collaboration. The boots were crafted with leather, featured a chunky platform outsole ranging between 1 and 1.5 inches and a unique lace-up design.

The previous year, the artist celebrated his first-ever Grammy Award nomination for the 2022 ceremony’s Best Rock Album award in a pair of platform Converse sneakers that featured black canvas uppers with elongated padded tongues, silver bar piercings and thick cream-toned ridged soles, alongside its signature capped toes.

The month before, the musician walked the red carpet of the San Diego Film Festival to promote his musical drama “Taurus” in a pair of the Adric loafers from Giuseppe Zanotti. Made with a blush-pink colorway, the shoes included a lace-up design, rubberized metal curb chains on each shoe and thick black rubber lug soles that provided a contrast to his monochromatic blue suit from Stephen Mikhail.
