Moonstar - Alweather Sneaker - Brown

The Alweather was in our wheelhouse from the start, but we had to wait for stock to come around and it's finally here. The high vulcanization on this pair makes them perfect for guys who want to wear sneakers in rough conditions, but don't want to walk around with wet feet. They have an iconic style reminiscent of the most hardcore boots of the past. It takes style cues from both American and Japanese footwear, marrying the two perfectly. The Khaki was always on our list, and we're so happy to get it in our hands this year.

Shoes Like Pottery - Sidegoa Sneaker - Charcoal.

We’ve admired Moonstar from a distance for some time now. The story of the Moonstar factory in Kyusyu, Japan is now one of legend. The attention to detail and fine crafting is unmatched in the industry. As we made our transition from solely a boot company to sneakers, we knew we must have the best. The process of ka-ryu or vulcanization has been perfected in their factory in Kurume since the company's inception in 1873. The canvas uppers are sewn slowly with precision while the rubber strips and soles are carefully inlaid to prepare for their infamous vulcanization process. The shoes are heated to 120° for 70 minutes making the rubber soft and gummy for your walking pleasure.

We've been waiting on this slip-on for ages. We finally were able to squeeze it into the ever-growing lineup, and we absolutely love it. It's extremely clean, with no frills other than the fact that it has this awesome grippy sole. They're a classic sneakerhead's dream!

Shoes Like Pottery - 01JP Low Sneaker - Green.

Shoes Like Pottery, made in the same factory as Moonstar, is done slow and steady - like the process of hand throwing, glazing, and firing pottery. The kiln they use to vulcanize the rubber is very similar in nature to the one used in the process of ceramics. The foxing surrounding the shoe even reminds us of some patterns we’ve seen in our favorite potters' clay-work. These were intentional. The name means what it says. A slow process of stitching, wrapping, molding, and firing gives these shoes a foundation you’ll be able to stand on for a long time. The beauty in the aesthetics of the shoes means more in that way, at least to us. Voting with your dollars is the perfect intersection of sensory pleasure and storytelling. The two waves flow through the universe in parallel only crossing paths on rare occasions. We specialize in curating those occasions, and so does Shoes Like Pottery. We've been waiting for this green for so long. Is a wonderful spring complement to any pair of selvage.

So, if you love that shoe and you want something with a bit of twist...the windowpane design of the Low Basket K Hogan might be right up your alley. The bottoms are a deeper, more royal blue than the baby blue you're used to. The hand-made pattern is the time-consuming side of this fabric that makes it a more high-end price point. And, the design makes these sneakers a little more high fashion.
