Moonstar - Low Basket Canvas Sneaker - K Hogan.

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 companies inception in 1873. The shoes are heated to 120° for 70 minutes making the rubber soft and gummy for your walking pleasure. These gym classic lows are a truly iconic look, especially if you show a little ankle.

We wanted to branch out from our standard Gym Classic deliveries, and this round we've been lucky to be able to snag a Moonstar, Momotaro crossover. This is considered a Moonstar silhouette, but let's be honest...it's the 01JP Low. 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.

We wanted to branch out from our standard Gym Classic deliveries, and this round we've been gifted with the leather Plain Court. These things are shiny like a brand new pair of veneers. There's much more cushion in the body of this pair than its canvas predecessor. There's also a slight arch in the back that gives them even more support. If you're looking for something a little more stepped up from your classic canvas sneaker, this is the place to go. We really love the way they look with a brand new pair of raw denim.

We wanted to branch out from our standard Gym Classic deliveries, and this round we've been gifted with the bumper court. This shoe is a slightly more padded and structured low top with a suede body and even more vulcanization. The wrapping of rubber on this one is reminiscent of skate shoes for us, as there's extra room in the "bumper" wall for flipping your board. These are perfect matches for any or our raw denim or chinos.

Shoes Like Pottery - Low Sneaker - Beige.

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. The Beige is one of our favorite colors yet.

Moonstar - Alweather Sneaker - Beige, Black.

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 process of ka-ryu or vulcanization has been perfected in their factory in Kurume since the companies 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.

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 all winter long, 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.
