Keep it long, treasure it long.

Every step you take refreshes the air.

While water-repellent materials and waterproof sneakers have become common, the issue of "sweating" has often been overlooked. CAICIAS has directly addressed this challenge with a groundbreaking design.

Knit material sneakers offer excellent breathability. However, they typically do not pair well with waterproofing. The CAICIAS MOISTHROUGH360 has been developed to meet the harsh conditions of summer, utilizing a knit mesh upper that maximizes breathability. By dividing the waterproof functionality to the sole, this sneaker achieves both moisture resistance and water protection.

Maximizing the Characteristics of Knit

The upper is made from knit material. Its design maximizes elasticity and breathability, and since there is no waterproof film, the natural movement and feel of the material are preserved. The shoelaces are made from elastic material and are secured with a cord stopper, allowing for easy on-and-off without tying. The fit and lightness when worn come from this unique structure.

No Wetness, No Sweating. Patented Breathable Waterproof System

The sole is responsible for the waterproof performance. Thanks to MOISTHROUGH360's unique patented system, it prevents water from entering through the sole while ensuring air and water vapor can escape. It has passed waterproof tests in environments with water depths of 4 cm for over 6 hours, providing solid protection against typical rain and puddles.

The knit mesh upper intentionally does not have a waterproof coating, prioritizing breathability. Therefore, in situations where heavy rain or sideways downpours directly hit the upper, water may seep through the mesh. This design philosophy is based on CAICIAS's approach of "protecting with the sole while prioritizing breathability" rather than aiming for "complete waterproofing."

Waterproofing is handled by the sole, while breathability is managed by the upper. This honest division of roles ensures that the sneaker has sufficient performance for everyday rainy use. Additionally, the "360° VENTILATION" structure features ventilation holes in the sole, effectively expelling air and water vapor through a pump function linked to walking. Air circulates all the way to the soles of your feet. The insole is also made from a mesh material developed to maximize this breathability, featuring punching on the underside and cushioning for arch support.

Comfort and Consideration for Your Feet

The midsole is equipped with Sonic Foam, made from supercritical EVA material commonly used in competitive running shoes. It is lightweight and offers excellent cushioning, supporting your feet even after long hours of walking. Whether walking to the station, spending a day on the go, or moving in rainy weather, this sneaker quietly absorbs the accumulated steps. The upper features a mesh material made from 30% recycled polyester, while the top layer uses EVA material with a 10% recycling rate, reflecting a commitment to long-lasting use.

The outsole is made from highly durable rubber material across the entire contact surface. The flat boat-shaped structure enhances walking stability, and the grooves from heel to toe concentrate body weight, minimizing wobbling. This sole structure is resistant to wear, even with prolonged use. Its thickness also naturally enhances the shoe's appearance.

The last (shoe mold) is an original design created by a renowned last maker, tailored to fit Japanese feet, balancing ease of entry with a refined silhouette.

Backed by Over 70 Years of Craftsmanship

MOISTHROUGH360 is a shoe brand created by Hiroshima Kasei Co., Ltd., founded in 1948. Starting with the production of zori sandals and fabric shoes, the company has dedicated nearly 70 years to shoe manufacturing, forming the foundation of this brand. The technical expertise and insights accumulated over time led to the birth of MOISTHROUGH360 when combined with a mindset of questioning the ordinary. Rather than seeking novelty, it returns to the essence of the problem. The brand's phrase "necessity = design" is rooted in this history of craftsmanship. By eliminating the excess and focusing solely on what is truly needed, this earnest approach reflects years of dedication to manufacturing.
