Original sneakers

New items are arriving one after another at Salon de Shimaji's select shop. Have you all had a chance to check them out?
They often say, "Style starts from the feet," and our fashion guru, Shimaji-san, has created original sneakers incorporating his own ideas.


Original sneakers: ¥37,800

Shimaji : "I wanted a leather sneaker that was as simple as possible in tricolor. The simple design makes it easy to match with anything, which is great."
This item features a simple design with a white base, accented with blue and red enamel lines, and the Salon de Shimaji trademark skull on the heel.


The unique design, with blue and red lines only on the outside, was also Shimaji's idea!

Shimaji : "They're comfortable to wear, and because they're leather, they gradually mold to your feet, which feels great."
Our salon staff wear them while working in the store, and they're very comfortable. Since they're made of leather, they'll last a long time if you take good care of them.
Wrinkles around the eyes that appear with age are troublesome, but... taking care of and nurturing leather goods such as leather accessories and business shoes is surely a pleasure unique to men.


Shimaji : "As I always say, romantic extravagance can produce such wonderful things! Some people say their wives often control the purse strings, but sometimes it's good to experience the joy of owning something of high quality. This is what leads to self-improvement."
Next time you visit the salon, be sure to check out Ms. Shimaji's fashion sense! We look forward to seeing you soon.
