Sneakers Made Of Japan Rather Than Made In Japan

Strawberry Frog developed the concept for this Onitsuka Tiger website which shows a sneaker with thousands of small images that, when rolled over, display pop up windows with tidbits about Japan. The site is aptly named Made of Japan. It’s certainly one of the more interesting ways to convey where a particular product is made. It’s far more interesting the a simple country flag which, unlike this site, tells one nothing about the country of origin. With this, you get a truer sense of Japan and truer insight into the makers of these shoes. Very nice work.
