SHOES LIKE POTTERY #BLACK [S.L.P.01]

Product Details.
Made in Japan sneakers produced in Kurume, where the rubber industry has long thrived. 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, creating a more distinctive design.

The design is a little bit larger than the CONVERS ALL STAR, so please choose your size by referring to the comparison with the CONVERS ALL STAR.

What is vulcanizing?
Vulcanizing is also known as vulcanization. It is a very rare manufacturing method that can only be produced in a few factories in Japan. The greatest feature of this method is that the rubber is placed in a kiln called a vulcanizer (where sulfur mixed with rubber is chemically reacted) in the final process. Shoes produced by this method have the advantages of supple and soft soles, strong and unbreakable soles, and beautiful silhouettes. Above all, the charm of these shoes lies in their elaborate and beautiful "quality of workmanship" that can only be achieved through skilled handwork.
