Japanese traditional cloth shoes

Because the material of canvas shoe uppers is very light, they don't have to endure the torture of covering their feet in hot summer, so they have become a "fixed choice" for many people.

However, the problem that comes with it is "bumping shoes". As the overlord of canvas shoes, converse can be seen almost everywhere in the streets and alleys in summer, especially the Chuck 70 series that has emerged in recent years.

So are there any other options for canvas shoes besides converse? The answer is definitely yes. Many independent brands will launch their own canvas shoes.

For example, fashion brands:

Majila Tabi sneakers specialty store

Printed canvas

For example, street brands:

Wtaps 13AW canvas

Undercover x

There are also some brands that highly restore military boots:

Nigel Caborn, Army Trainer

In addition to the above canvas shoes, kid also found several pairs of canvas shoes that are not popular with you today.

I hope I can satisfy your mind to stop playing shoes ~

PRAS, a Nissan canvas shoe with "kurume" descent.

Speaking of kurume, it is not enough to finish writing these two thousand words. Kurume, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, is famous for its developed rubber industry and comprehensive shoemaking industry, among which the vulcanized soled canvas shoes made in kurume are the best.

Kurume's footwear industry uses the vulcanization technology invented by the United States in 1839. Sulfur reacts with rubber under the ultra-high temperature pressure of 120 degrees, and after 70 minutes, the shoe shape is more firm and straight.

Some high-quality canvas shoes, such as DOEK and Moonstar, which we are familiar with, all come from here.

Back in PRAS, the pressing line on the toe really won my heart, with high completion and neatness.

This "strange" design actually comes from the previous military training canvas shoes. I believe you can also see it on many retro canvas shoes. Personally, I like the toe cap of PRAS very much.

PRAS's canvas material is not sloppy at all. It is made of Okayama Mijima 12.6oz canvas, which has a history of more than 60 years.

In addition, the purchase of PRAS footwear products will be equipped with extra spare shoelaces, insoles and shoe bags, which is quite painstaking.

Although the official price has recently increased to 900+ due to rising costs, I think this price is still acceptable.

In the Spring/Summer 2020 collection, PRAS added many splash elements. Interested friends may wish to pay attention in official website.

instantaneous

Inn-Stant is a brand of Japanese canvas shoes, but interestingly, the shoes of this brand are not "made in Japan" that everyone yearns for, but are made by CEBO, a shoe shop in Slovakia.

It is said that this shoe-making workshop was first operated in Czechoslovakia (which has been disintegrated) and continues to this day in Slovakia. In order to restore the details of traditional European shoes, Inn-Stant specially found this shoe-making workshop with a long history.

Innt-instant uses native natural rubber and cloth, and uses natural dyes for dyeing, which is environmentally friendly and harmless. The shoes are made of traditional European shoemaking techniques, which are completed by old machines and manpower in the workshop, perfectly presenting the retro taste of shoes.

Overview of instant shoes

After careful observation, you should have found that Inn-Stant has all kinds of retro toe caps and edging, even similar to some European footwear brands. This is not plagiarism, but everyone has followed the previous shoe design.

Such a lovely toe cap is enough to make people fall in love!

VEJA

Novesta, a Slovak sneaker, should have been bought by Amway, and it was quite popular for a while.

VEJA is also a national footwear brand. I wonder if you have heard of it? In fact, VEJA, which is famous for its small white shoes, has also produced many canvas shoes.

It's this little white shoe, simple upper design, V-shaped logo ~ It feels like the French version of Pull Back hhhhh.

The founder of VEJA has a strong sense of social responsibility and environmental protection concept. When he founded this brand, he hoped it could produce the most environmentally friendly sports shoes in the world.

Therefore, VEJA's sole rubber is made of natural rubber from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, and the material of the shoe body is also environmentally friendly.

However, compared with the above shoes, VEJA is still "rough". Of course, the corresponding price of VEJA will be much cheaper, basically 500+ can be bought.

Friends who like simple white shoes style can learn about it.

Spalwart

Spalwart is a Swedish retro shoe brand, founded on 20 12. Since its establishment, it has gained a large number of fans who like antique and retro styles.

Since it is a Swedish brand, why is the tongue made in Slovakia?

It turns out that Spalwart is a Swedish brand, but all the machines that produce this brand of shoes and shoes come from a military shoe factory in Slovakia.

It is said that these machines were accidentally discovered by a designer of a shoe factory in Slovakia, and they are all old machines with a long history of making shoes.

Spalwart's exquisite shoemaking and insistence on old technology coincide with the brand concept of "every step is history".

In addition, shoes produced by Spalwart can be used to "raise shoes", just like jeans. Long-term wear will make the shoes form a unique fading effect, which is completely your canvas shoes.

Especially Spalwart's high-pound canvas, the heavier the canvas, the more feeling it has, and the color is backward and it tastes great.

Finally, while watching Spalwart canvas shoes, I accidentally planted grass for their retro running. The rich retro style is so exciting!

These are some rare canvas shoes of Amway. At least few people around me really wear it.

I wonder which pair you like? See you in the comments section.
