A light and elegant new addition to Foot the Coacher that falls somewhere between a sneaker and a leather shoe.

Good news for all those who seek lightness and elegance in their footwear. Shoe designer Toshinosuke Takegahara's "FOOT THE COACHER" has come up with a sneaker with a leather sole. These are exceptional shoes that can be worn in both mode and on the street.

NON-SPORTY SNEAKERS (SMITH) ¥59,400 each

NON-SPORTY SNEAKERS (GERMAN) ¥59,400

Two models will be offered: the "SMITH," which gained popularity last season, and the new "GERMAN. The upper is made of fine-grained "steer hide" with just the right amount of oil, and the heel is made of the originally developed "STAR PAW™. This provides an excellent fit, grip, and abrasion resistance.

All of them are based on orthodox sneakers, so they can be worn with any style. The new "Foot the Culture" collection, which is neither too heavy nor too casual, will be released sequentially from April.
