RESH./Rish: Shoes and items derived from high-quality repair.

RESH., a shoe repair company, operates under the philosophy of "creating a culture of repairing and wearing shoes." While they have always stood out for their unique approach that reflects the knowledge gained in the repair field, such as the development of repair machines and variations of rubber soles, they have recently been focusing on developing products that allow people to enjoy their shoes for a long time.

The shoe trees developed in collaboration with British company Springline, which will be featured at this year's ISETAN Shoe Fair, as well as the hold caps for men's "Tabi" shoes and boots currently under development, are all products that were derived from the experience of shoe repair and are "in demand right now."
1. A maple shoe tree developed in collaboration with Springline, a British last maker. The double tube provides even tension to the shoe. Sizes 5-9. ¥19,800 □ Isetan Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F Men's Shoes / Mitsukoshi Isetan Online Store

2. Original rubber heel parts that can be used with foot balance heels such as those of Alden. 3,850 yen □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F Men's Shoes

3. A men's version of the popular "Tabi" boot and shoe hold cap, which has been well-received in the women's line.

Also noteworthy are the derby shoes, developed as staff uniform shoes and modeled after vintage service shoes. The finish reflects the staff's attention to detail.
These staff boots were developed from a shoe last based on military boots from the 1940s. Like the Holdcap, they are a collaborative production with Footbanks International's brand, Fobs Classic. Currently, preparations are underway for sales.

To enhance your enjoyment of COLUMBUS shoe care.

From the perspective of a shoe enthusiast, items that meet the demands of modern times have arrived.

2,3_New colors "British Brown" and "Rose Bordeaux" for the "Artist Palette" oil-based cream, which prioritizes shine and nourishment for leather. 2,200 yen each.
4. "Collections Shoe Cream," an emulsifying cream renowned for its high dyeing power. It was Mr. Takei who used it for color repair on cordovan leather, which led to the creation of this Rose Bordeaux color. ¥2,200 □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , B1F, Men's Shoes

COLUMBUS , which handles a wide range of shoe care products, will be showcasing two initiatives at this year's ISETAN Shoe Fair that are sure to impress shoe enthusiasts. One is "Rose Bordeaux," a new color of "Collections Shoe Cream" from "Boot Black," which is known for its high dyeing power. This cream was created through interaction with Mr. Takei, who posts about cordovan care on Instagram, and is a cream that corresponds to the so-called "#8" color.

Furthermore, the "Artist Palette," which is also suitable for cordovan care, will be available in "Rose Bordeaux" and "British Brown." Another product is a care brush made from 99.9% plant-derived biomass plastic. The bristles, made from environmentally friendly materials, are carefully planted using the Kumano brush manufacturing method.
