SOLD OUT

¥14,300 JPY

■Product Details.
These "Made in Japan" sneakers are produced in Kurume, a city with a long history of a thriving rubber industry. They were named " SHOES LIKE POTTERY " because they are fired in a kiln, much like pottery.Each rubber tape wrapped around the sole is embossed with a rope pattern, creating a unique look for every pair, just like pottery. Furthermore, the rubber seams are secured with a blue logo that resembles sealing wax, resulting in a distinctive design.

"RED; Lacquer Dyeing"
We use a dye derived from a type of scale insect called the lac bug. While plant-based dyes often produce pale hues, we achieve deep, rich colors by applying the dye repeatedly. Dyes derived from scale insects, such as cochineal, are commonly used to color food products; ketchup is a well-known example.

* Please note that this style runs slightly large. Please refer to the size comparison with CONVERSE ALL STAR when selecting your size.

*What is the vulcanization process?
This process is also known as vulcanization. It is an extremely rare method that can only be carried out at a handful of factories in Japan. The most distinctive feature of this process is that, in the final stage, the shoes are placed in a kiln called a vulcanizing chamber (where the sulfur mixed into the rubber undergoes a chemical reaction). Shoes produced using this method offer several advantages: the soles are supple and soft, yet durable and resistant to damage, and they maintain a beautiful silhouette.Above all, their appeal lies in the exquisite craftsmanship—a level of quality that can only be achieved through skilled, traditional handwork.
