I fell in love with these shoes and bought them about 15 years ago at Americaya in Ameyoko, Ueno, Tokyo. Converse and Keds are also good, but I've never met anyone wearing these, and I personally love the details. After this, I also bought the same model in NAVY, and suede models in Royal blue and GREEN. First is the White, which is an off-white color. I wore these the most and loved them. These sneakers are made by a Kumamoto manufacturer, and I think they are almost impossible to find now! I don't want to part with them, but I've uploaded photos, and in these 15 years, my bunions have gotten worse, and the bone on the outside of my big toe hurts, so I can't wear them anymore. I have listed three other pairs in addition to this one. The condition of each pair is different, so please take a look at the photos. I washed these in the washing machine for this listing, but as you can see in the photo of the heel, the yellowing didn't come out. Please be aware of this. The size is listed as 9, but since I don't have the special insoles that I bought separately, please consider them to be 28cm. I remember they cost 9,800 yen at the time. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for looking. If you like them, please consider buying them.
