Product Details
■Product Details.
These "Made in Japan" sneakers are produced in Kurume, a city with a long history of a thriving rubber industry.
SHOES LIKE POTTERY were named " SHOES LIKE POTTERY " because they are fired in a kiln, just like pottery. The rubber tape wrapped around the sole is embossed with rope-like patterns, giving each pair a unique look, much like a piece of pottery. Additionally, the seams of the rubber are sealed with a blue logo that resembles sealing wax, creating a truly distinctive design.

*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 very small number 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, including flexible and soft soles, exceptional durability, and the ability to maintain a beautiful silhouette.Above all, their appeal lies in the exquisite craftsmanship—a level of quality that can only be achieved through skilled, meticulous handwork.
