It has a smooth and glossy beauty, and as you use it, it will become familiar and taste will come out. 2. The lining uses cowhide and pigskin that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time

In particular, the toes and heel are made of domestically produced pigskin (pig leather) that does not get stuffy. By using bare leather, the shoes have a moderate amount of grip. 3. The sole uses ultra-lightweight material from Finproject, Italy

A special technique is used to incorporate air into the rubber sole, creating a sense of thickness and volume. It has high cushioning properties, is lightweight yet durable, and is characterized by the fact that the sole does not wear out easily. *Extralight is a registered trademark of Finproject 4. Kyoto braided cord is used for the shoelaces. Beautiful and won’t untie

There are irregularities on the surface of the braid and a beautiful shine that comes with it. And since the braid is elastic, the knot will not come undone. Tighten it loosely and make sure the knot is secure. After wearing the prototype for several months and verifying it, I was surprised to find that I rarely had to retie the shoelaces. 5. “Nishijin-ori” woven with dyed thread Image

It is a high-quality textile that requires many processes and techniques to complete, as it is not dyed after weaving, but the patterns are created by intricately weaving the dyed threads first. *Nishijin textile is a registered trademark of Nishijin textile industry association 6.

Based on the idea of “creating something that has never been seen before,” we expressed Japanese culture in shoes. “Shoes with a Japanese feel are something that only shoe craftsmen like us can create.” That thought became the impetus for the development of “KAVKIMONO”. Normally, I sketch an image of the shoes I want to make and then start making them. However, for this KAVKIMONO, Nishida had an image of the shoes he wanted to make, so he made a pattern on the wooden last and made a prototype shoe. Image
