Functional beauty, even for formal shoes.
These bespoke shoes are made with “Puma H”, a water-resistant box calf leather from the French tannery Du Puy.
This pair was specially ordered for the Japanese rainy season, “Tsuyu”, when rain and humidity are part of everyday life.
I wanted to keep the beautiful shine and elegant texture of the leather, while creating shoes that can be enjoyed even on rainy days.
The rubber sole adds practicality and comfort for the rainy season.
Traditional beauty and modern functionality come together in this formal shoe, made for the unique climate of Japan.
