Good feeling when you wear it

One of the features of the PRAS (plus) SHELLCAP LOW series, which is useful as a pair that often comes into play, is a firmly thick rubber bottom and a rounded toe.

When you put your feet in, it covers the instep and heel completely, and the bottom is stable. In spite of this simple appearance, you can actually feel the feeling that there is plenty of commitment.

Varicanized Japanese style

PRAS (plus), which is based on the philosophy of "JAPANISM PRODUCT" that wants to appeal the Japanese character not only to the appearance of the product but also to the inner part. Internal Japanese quality is considered to be the quality of manufacturing that Japanese people have been trying for a long time, such as `` faithfully facing materials '' and `` delicate and honest manufacturing '', and disseminate this quality to Japan and abroad. It was the beginning of the brand that thought that it would be necessary for Japan in the future to gain sympathy by actually wearing products.
In addition, rather than a temporary trend, because of the desire to create a universal product that will continue for the next 10 years and beyond, we will focus on simple sneakers that fit any clothes and call it a Japanese style called Vulcanized PRAS (plus) sneakers were announced with additional manufacturing methods.

The Vulcanized manufacturing method used in PRAS (plus) sneakers is a method in which the sole of the sneaker is attached to the sole. Insert the uncured rubber between the sneaker body and the sole, and put it in a special pot and add sulfur and vulcanizing agent while applying high temperature pressure. In this “vulcanization” process, the shoe sole and the upper (the shoe body) are bonded together, and parts of different materials such as the canvas body and rubber sole can be integrated.

The rubber of sneakers made by the vulcanized method over a long period of time will return to its proper shape even when stretched, and will have the original property of bouncing and bending flexibly. As a result, it has a very good fit to the foot, can be kicked out smoothly, and has the characteristic that the bottom is not easily peeled off. In addition, rubber tape is wrapped around the boundary between the sneaker body and the rubber bottom, making it durable in lateral movement, so if you have one pair you can wear it much longer Will do.
