“Kimono x genuine leather” sneakers created by Asakusa shoemakers are now on sale at Makuake

2022.06.27

A unisex “Kimono x Genuine Leather Sneaker” that combines beautiful kimono and genuine leather sneakers with the skill of Asakusa shoemakers.
“TOKYO KIMONO SHOES”, a shoe with a unique pattern to upcycle and shape the kimono, will be on sale from 16:00 on June 17, 2022 at the crowdfunding site “Makuake”.

Craftsmanship in every detail

With the development and manufacturing cooperation of Akusuto Co., Ltd., we have extensively reviewed the wooden pattern to make the kimono sneakers that the company was selling into global unisex products.
We have introduced a larger size and made improvements such as changing the cut insole inside the shoe.

Not only the new fashionability of “kimono and genuine leather”, but also the “easy to wear” and “easy to walk” that can be realized only by the manufacturer who has many years of experience in shoe improvement.

Made in Japan with particularity

Japanese kimono, Japanese leather, and Japanese technology are all made in Japan, so you can continue to wear them with peace of mind.

Design is once in a lifetime

Since one piece of kimono is cut and used, the pattern is different for each pair.
* We carefully select kimonos that match the color of the leather.
Please enjoy your own sneakers that are unique in the world.
