■Product Details.
Made in Japan sneakers produced in Kurume, where the rubber industry has been flourishing since ancient times. The name SHOES LIKE POTTERY comes from the fact that it is baked in a kiln like pottery. The rubber tape wrapped around the sole is embossed with rope patterns one by one, giving each piece a unique look, just like pottery. In addition, the rubber seams are secured with a blue logo mark that resembles sealing wax, creating a more distinctive design.

『BLACK』
The loom invented by Englishman Edmund Cartwright in 1785 was imported to Japan in 1866, and after that many domestic power looms were manufactured. The black monochrome fabric is KASURI DUCK, which was woven on a narrow loom made 100 years ago.

*What is the Vulcanize manufacturing method?
Another name is vulcanization method. This is a very rare manufacturing method that can only be produced in very few factories in Japan. The biggest feature of this manufacturing method is that in the final step, the rubber is placed in a kiln called a vulcanizer (the sulfur mixed in the rubber undergoes a chemical reaction). Shoes produced using this manufacturing method have the advantage of having supple and soft soles, being durable and hard to break, and maintaining a beautiful silhouette. Above all, the exquisite and beautiful quality of the craftsmanship that can only be created by skilled handiwork is appealing.
