Within the brand family extending from JOJO Naitou to the current OJOJO NAITŌ, KODORI is a distinct wedge-sole collection. While the standard OJOJO range centers on flat constructions based on zori sandals and flip-flops, KODORI uses a thick sole and platform shape, with a stronger fashion focus that allows it to be paired with both kimono and Western clothing. With a silhouette and uses that differ from the standard models, it is positioned as a derivative line on a separate axis that broadens the OJOJO lineup.

While OJOJO’s standard sandals are offered as everyday footwear, CoJOJO is treated as a line that foregrounds functional proposals related to posture and body movement.
