ISETAN Leather Fair 2023 features a wide array of limited-edition, bespoke, and pre-release items. And there are still more items yet to be released. From the first ever atelier-made ready-to-wear shoes from a bespoke shoemaker (limited to just four pairs worldwide) to the reissue of a masterpiece from a quintessential French brand, and even some shocking collaboration items, this article will give you a complete overview.

MASSARO

A bespoke shoemaker that also creates haute couture shoes for the Chanel Group makes its debut. This is the brand's first ready-to-wear shoe made in its atelier. The quality of bespoke shoes shines through in every detail, from the hand-sewn welted sole with minimal welt overhang, to the tapered waist and the diamond-shaped pattern etched into the outsole.

Still beloved by fans, the "376," a closed-laced wingtip shoe that is no longer in production, has been reissued exclusively at Isetan Shinjuku. Its charm lies in its simple yet refined appearance, distinct from typical British shoes. Of course, the quality is superb, with finely textured calfskin offering exceptional luxury. The comfortable fit, thanks to the lining that molds to the foot, is also a highlight.

CORTHAY x ASICS

Corthay , the bespoke shoe maison that Paris is proud of, and ASICS, a leading Japanese sports shoe manufacturer, are collaborating on a groundbreaking first collection. This collection will be unveiled in Japan for the first time on Wednesday, September 27th, during the "ISETAN Leather Fair 2023".

This collaboration between the two brands, which may seem unexpected, apparently came about when the two teams hit it off in their home country. Two models will be unveiled this time: a dress shoe style and a sneaker style.

These dress shoes retain Corthay 's signature sharp, streamlined form and color gradation, while incorporating the comfortable fit of ASICS Runwalk. The familiar ASICS logo, created with perforations, adds a touch of elegance.

This sneaker model is based on ASICS sneakers, with Corthay 's signature color gradation incorporated as an essential element. The consistent color scheme, even down to the sole, contributes to its high level of product refinement. Of course, it offers the same comfortable fit as ASICS.

Parafoot

The "Avignon" model, a signature of PARABOOT , features Paraboot's famous Norwegian stitching and distinctive paneling around the opening. This model, available for pre-order at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building is notable for its combination of suede and calfskin in the same color but different materials. The shape, which is voluminous yet has a slim toe, matches well with everything from denim to wool trousers.

VAJRA

The brand's first-ever line of low-cut shoes will be available exclusively at Isetan Shinjuku.

The "HUGO" model is an inner-laced plain-toe shoe. With its rarely seen design, the rounded last and the voluminous spade sole create a unique atmosphere, making it an Oxford shoe that can also be worn casually.

The "MAX WEBER" model is a plain-toe shoe with an open lacing system. Despite its hand-sewn welted construction and a spade sole with a double sole on the front half, it offers excellent value for money at a price in the 50,000 yen range. Its soft silhouette makes it versatile and easy to pair with various outfits.

The "TOLSTOY" model is a plain slip-on style shoe. Its washed-out, natural look gives it a unique feel that sets it apart from other shoes.

In addition, all of Vajra's new products for the Fall/Winter 2023 season will be unveiled at "ISETAN Leather Fair 2023".
