When we think of summer shoes, the first thing that comes to mind is sandals, but there is another type of shoe that should not be forgotten. That is deck shoes. Especially in Japan, which is influenced by American fashion such as IVY, the American brand "Sperry" has long been a favorite.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of Sperry's founding. To commemorate this anniversary, Sperry has decided to launch a special Japan-made collection called the "JAPAN MADE" series.
The base shoe is the "Classic CVO," the origin of the Sperry brand, which has been worn by many stars and has even become the official shoe of the U.S. Navy. This time, two types, cotton canvas and suede, will be available.
As the name "Japan Made" implies, the brand is committed to manufacturing in Japan, from material procurement to production. The canvas upper is made by Fuji Kinmei, a canvas manufacturer that has been making canvas in Japan since its establishment in 1948, and the suede is made of Japanese cowhide.
The sole is also different. The "RUBEAR NR sole" which is the brand's first adoption, improves abrasion resistance by adopting Japanese natural rubber while maintaining grip with the familiar wave-shaped incision. In addition, the latex material is used for the elastic insole and heel patch, the logo of the limited design incorporating Mt.

The sale will start on July 31, ( Wed, ) on the official Japanese e-commerce site, and will be sequentially rolled out at "Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building", "Mint Kobe", and other locations nationwide. Incidentally, the suede is scheduled to go on sale on August 28 (Thu), whether that means it's too hot or not. Canvas, which is typical of [Sperry], and suede, which has a luxurious feel, both have a certain charm that is hard to put down.
