The wooden shapes, patterns, and structures that form the basis of these shoes are designed by the designer, Akihiro Kojima himself, and are formed through close communication with craftsmen. The greatest appeal of these shoes is their good fitting to the Japanese foot shape, and they offer beautiful and long-loved shoes that are picturesque even if they are left on display.
The new model "Rainy" from "Forme" is now available. As the name suggests, it is proposed as a leather shoe that can be worn on rainy days. The brand's first rubber sole, which until now has been available only with a leather sole, is the first to be used in Japan by Sole Tech (U.S.A.), and the heel combines a model by Canada's Biltrite Corporation to ensure grip on wet surfaces.
The upper is made of Horween leather (U.S.A.), which has been infiltrated with a large amount of wax (wax component). Although not waterproof leather, it repels rain due to the wax that permeates the leather, and by caring for it with mink oil, etc., it will exhibit a more waterproof effect, and you can also enjoy the changes over time. In addition, it comes with a removable quilt to protect it from rain. It also seems to have the effect of accentuating the appearance.
