This is more than just a slight change in fabric or color—it’s a pair of shoes in which Mr. Hasegawa’s aesthetic sensibility is evident in every detail.

First, by removing one lace hole from the base model, the “VM001-MID,” the shoe gives the impression of being a low-top, even though it’s actually a mid-top.

The tongue is approximately three times as thick as that of the standard model, and the collar and tongue lining are made of soft, comfortable French terry (pile) fabric.

The upper also features a chino fabric not used in the Inline collection, pairing a navy upper with an off-white sole.
