There are those who dig quietly, and those who don’t.

Check for Moles is a celebration of the unseen and the underfoot. A field plate-turned-fashion-statement, these high-top sneakers transform vintage zoological illustrations into something deeply strange, uncomfortably cute, and unmistakably alive.

Each panel features a parade of plump, peculiar moles, rendered in a range of fur tones—inky black, deep chestnut, sun-bleached beige. They float, they shuffle, they stand stiff with mole-like dignity. A few display their skeletal insides, like anatomical models from a lecture hall that’s been closed for a century. Every surface of the shoe becomes a cabinet of curiosity, a scientific display of the world’s most introverted diggers.

The cream-colored background mimics old parchment, while black soles and trim give it a crisp modern frame—like pinning down a dream with thumbtacks.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

The Hollow Sense
Grants intuitive awareness of what lies beneath—whether hidden motives, soft ground, or unspoken invitations. You’ll know where not to step, and when to dig.

Burrower's Grace
Bestows silent passage and uncanny timing. You can disappear from a room without moving, or show up somewhere no one expected. Subtlety becomes your native language.

Fur and Bone Equilibrium
You carry the gift of strange duality. Gentle yet armored, humorous yet unnerving, cute yet cursed. You attract others who dwell in the margins—librarians, cryptids, introverts, and spies.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

The Laments once kept a sacred burrow map known only as The Hollow Thread. These moles—each lovingly illustrated by disgraced professor E. B. Tumblestaff—were believed to be guardians of secret tunnel routes beneath Lament sanctuaries. It’s said that only by “checking for moles” could one avoid being unceremoniously swallowed by the soft earth. These shoes are considered good luck for traversing unknown passages—physical, metaphysical, or social.

Atmospheres Clinging to These Relics

  • Whimsical paranoia
  • Scientific mischief
  • Unsettling charm
  • Cozy menace

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation

This is one of the most playfully macabre designs in the Lament archive. It’s cozy and creepy at the same time—like something you’d wear to a tea party hosted by taxonomists who’ve never seen the sun. With hypnotic repetition and anatomical flair, these shoes live at the crossroads of scientific absurdity and verminous dignity. A love letter to the unnoticed.

Hymns to Strengthen Thy Enchanted Relic

Lend Thine Ear, Fortify Thy Powers. Invoke these chants whilst donning thy wares, that the enchantment might seep deeper into thy bones.

Five songs that shuffle beneath the surface, hum with quiet suspicion, and leave dirt beneath your nails.

"Underground" – Tom Waits
Gruff, rhythmic, and strange as an old boot in a mine shaft. A fitting anthem for molekind.

"Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" – Radiohead
Hypnotic descent into layers. If a mole had an existential crisis, it would sound like this.

"My Body Is a Cage" – Peter Gabriel (Arcade Fire cover)
Gothic introspection wrapped in anatomical reverence. Bones, tunnels, and buried truths.

"The Moles Are Coming" – The Residents
An unhinged sonic burrow. Disorienting, paranoid, and gleefully bizarre.

"Hidden Place" – Björk
A soft, secret anthem for introverts with enchanted tunnel maps in their coat pockets.
