Handmade sneakers from BUILD, a brand based on the concept of "ultra-simple footwear."
The minimalist design and high-quality tailoring enhance authentic outfits, whether worn on or off the job.
This "005 sneaker" design was born from a sense of incongruity in the changing times.
The following is from shoemaker and shoemaker Mr. Morita
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the lives of many people.
I feel like my clothes for work have become a lot more casual.
Women wearing pantsuits are switching from pumps to sneakers.
The same goes for men.
But the sight seemed very funny to me.
Because the sneakers on his feet were too sporty.
Authentic sneakers that go well with a suit.
A minimalist design that eliminates waste as much as possible.
A lightness that makes you want to walk forever.
Please enjoy.
□Material The upper is made from wild boar leather.
It seems that the number of wild boars that are destroying fields and being exterminated as pests is increasing every year.
So, in order not to waste the life that had been given to them, we had them carefully made into leather using a method that is harmless to both the environment and humans.
Matte and silky.
Their appearance overturns the image of them as rough pests.
The beauty of the material and the cycle of life that lies within.
This feeling is embodied in the material.
By the way, the pig leather lining is also eco-leather.
It is tanned using a process that is safe for contact with baby's skin.
*The boar leather upper has scars from growing up in the wild.
□Specifications Upper: Wild boar leather (game leather)
Lining: Pig leather Outsole: Rubber (Vibram)
□Size
The shoe is relatively narrow in width and uses a low instep last, giving it a tight fit.
Everyone's feet are different, so there's no one right answer, but if you're unsure which size to choose, I think it's okay to choose one size larger.
*Black x Black: If the lining (the color inside the shoe) is black, the color may transfer to your socks.
If you're interested, we recommend black x beige.
