OCAI A shoe brand founded in China in 2022, now at the DACULT online store. Basic, and anything but ordinary: apparel and footwear for the people who live in the city after dark. The hand of the fabric, the silhouette, every last detail — all of it is deliberate. Elements of contemporary art run through the design, with classic and modern held together at an unstable angle, and it reads properly only to people whose taste sits below the surface of the trend cycle. At home, OCAI is worn by a young, self-selected few. It is less a shoe brand than a small but certain message to anyone holding their own aesthetic together inside city life. This is their paradoxical basic, and you will find it only at DACULT. Feel the force in that quiet.
