grounds × UNDERCOVER

Based on the popular “ORCA” series by grounds, known for its bold and distinctive outsole design, this collaboration model features a modified high-cut upper. While retaining the chunky, cushioned platform sole, the upper is crafted from a stretchable knit material that comfortably fits around the foot. Despite its volume, the shoe offers a surprisingly lightweight and agile feel.

More than just a shoe—it’s like wearing the sole itself.
The ORCA series is defined by an exaggerated outsole that appears to engulf the upper, creating a dramatic and sculptural silhouette. Inspired by the image of an orca—massive yet graceful in motion—this model features a chunky, cushioned midsole encased in a transparent outsole, delivering the same sense of lightness that defines the series. The heel height is approximately 7cm.
