Valkanized manufacturing method

This deck shoe uses a shoe type with a beautiful shape at that time, which was produced in the 1980s based on American deck shoes made in the 1970s. Manufacturing is partly manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Japan. A vulcanized manufacturing method that causes a chemical reaction by applying heat and pressure of close to 120 degrees to the rubber sole is used for the canvas upper. Although this vulcanized manufacturing method can significantly increase the strength and elasticity of the shoe upper and sole, it requires a skilled craftsman, so it is a rare manufacturing method that can be handled only in limited factories in Japan. ..

Because it is a sturdy shoe made by such a vulcanized method, it is also a nice point to be able to wash. Please wash your hands with normal temperature to a little warm water. This is a pair of white canvas sneakers that should be picked up by people who are shy about their dirt.

From a long-established store that supported Japanese shoe culture

Asahi is the shoe brand of Asahi shoes, a shoe manufacturer that has been supporting Japanese shoe culture for over 120 years since it was founded in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture in 1892. Asahi shoes started when the founder Tokujiro Ishibashi founded "Shi-Maya", which is the predecessor of the present company (sewing industry), and the business was taken over by his two sons. Until then, they felt the inefficiency of the tailoring industry that made various miscellaneous products such as tabi socks under shirts and trousers, and in 1907 they changed the business of "Shimaya" to "tabi sole specialty". Established our own factory by expanding the company while introducing electric motors and integrated production from cotton cloth. The newly developed stick-on basement socks (those with rubber bottoms attached to socks) have become popular, and the company will grow even larger. In this production, it was unprofitable to purchase and process rubber, so we decided to do integrated production from rubber in-house. This leads to the production of shoes today. This Asahi is an independent brand that wants to provide more shoes that can be worn by men and women, such as deck shoes and slip-ons made by Asahi shoes.
