ISETAN Shoe Expo 2021
2021.09.15 update

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, REGAL evolves even further. Introducing the limited-edition reissue of Van Regal products | ISETAN Shoe Fair 2021

REGAL , originally an American shoe brand, is celebrating its 60th anniversary in Japan this year. To mark this milestone, we will be showcasing the new appeal of REGAL at the ISETAN Shoe Fair.



One such example is VAN REGAL. In the 1960s, VAN began to make a name for itself as a leading force in Ivy League style, and together with REGAL , they produced shoes under a joint name, which helped to increase the recognition of both brands.



The revived Van Regal line features loafers and plain-toe derbies made using the original shoe lasts and newly created patterns, as well as Dirty Bucks made using shoe lasts unearthed from the archives.
Van Regal's plain-toe and loafers are made using the original shoe lasts but with newly created patterns. The uppers use glass-finished kip leather specially ordered from Sanyo, a tannery in Himeji, evoking the style of the past. Meanwhile, Dirty Bucks unearthed the shoe lasts from their past archives. The brick sole has been replaced with a softer rubber.

A collaboration with ANK is also featured.



A collaboration model with Eiji Katano, also known as "Aniki," will also be released. This time, Van Regal has revived a long wingtip shoe that has not been previously released, and it uses embossed kip leather that resembles shrink leather, as seen in vintage American shoes. It will be on display in advance at the ISETAN Shoe Fair.


View REGAL products at the Mitsukoshi Isetan online store.
