My top recommendation is the WH/Double H Hoshiba Special.


WH/Double H, a collaboration with Yoshimasa Hoshiba, is doing very well, thanks to your support. The "Hoshiba Special," which was featured in a highly anticipated new product article on Isetan Men's Net, has also received feedback from Mr. Hoshiba saying, "I was able to walk around comfortably in them, wearing them on heavy rotation even at Pitti Uomo."

The Hoshiba Special was designed with an American-style volume in mind, using a last (shoe mold) similar to military specifications, and fulfilling Mr. Hoshiba's request to "add a welt and thicken the sole." I think it turned out to be a pair of shoes that really reflects Mr. Hoshiba's taste.


Bath loafers ¥24,840

I found these GHBASS tassel loafers on a shelf where Double H was located. I was into Ivy League style when I was a student, so I'm naturally drawn to things like this (laughs). I always have something like this in my wardrobe, but the combination with the rubber sole on these loafers is new. I think they're really great. I want a pair.



MARNI sneakers ¥63,720

Also, at the shoe lab located in front of the escalator going down to the basement floor, I found a pair of MARNI slip-ons that I really liked. Compared to before, this corner has a lot more luxury sneakers, but these MARNI shoes are my favorite white color, and the rubbery material feels new and unique. They could even be worn as rain shoes.

What kind of shoes did I find at the high-end store featuring the world's top brands?
