■Product Details.
Made in Japan trainers produced in Kurume, where the rubber industry has long flourished. The name SHOES LIKE POTTERY comes from the fact that they are fired in a kiln like pottery. The rubber tape wrapped around the sole is individually stamped with a rope pattern, creating a different look for each piece, just like pottery. The joints of the rubber are fastened with a blue logo mark that resembles sealing wax, giving the design a more distinctive look.

*What is the Vulcanisation process?
Also known as vulcanisation. This is a very rare process that can only be produced in a very few factories in Japan. The greatest feature of this method is that the rubber is placed in a kiln called a vulcaniser (where sulphur mixed into the rubber undergoes a chemical reaction) in the final process. Shoes produced by this method have the following advantages: the sole is supple and soft, the sole is strong and unbreakable, and a beautiful silhouette can be maintained. Above all, the appeal is the elaborate and beautiful "quality of workmanship" that can only be produced by skilled handwork.
