The moment you slip them on, you'll want to run! These sneakers are custom-made using wooden molds by skilled leather shoemakers. The entire process is carried out by Sekiguchi Zendai Shoe Factory, Chofu, Tokyo.
I remember seeing an article in a magazine corner that mentioned something like "college students or so " about a school
for shoes That was the first time I learned you could actually make shoes
I was determined not to take this path and it all started right after university when I immediately enrolled in a shoe-making school
Although people usually aren’t fond of running or walking much I’ve received occasional feedback saying they’ve started doing it voluntarily which makes me feel the effort was worthwhile
Since I've always focused on the substance rather than the materials when building the workshop I truly value teaching and sharing ideas—something I still find incredibly rewarding and enjoyable
Thank you for watching
