Moonstar - Alweather Slip-On Sneaker - Beige.

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. These might be a little less waterproof, as the upper is a low, slip-on vs the high top. We still think these would be fun shoes to go sloshing around in the mud in. They were definitely fun to wear for the photoshoot. They're by far the most unique slip-on we've ever slipped on.

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 are 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 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.

This year's variation has slightly changed. They've added even more rubber to the foxing in the back is more rounded and the front foxing wraps further back to meet it. The toe bumper is also quite a bit bigger. We're super excited for the change and we think it's more than purposeful. These have now become even more water-resistant.

We've been waiting on new colors from Moonstar for ages, and they're finally here. Not only that, but they're perfect. We've been graced with two wonderful new colors.

Moonstar - Gym Classic Sneaker - Olive.

The gym classic is as simple as it sounds. You can easily see these running around a gym in the 60s-70s. They're a nice alternative to a world full of homogenous sneakers. They stand out, and we are so glad to have a two-tone version of them this year. The olive is gorgeous paired with the black rubber soles. We can only imagine that these will get better as they fade. That's kind of the specialty of this world. Everything looks better with time.

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, Shoes Like Pottery 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.
