Shoes Like Pottery
Shoes Like Pottery manufactures handmade canvas sneakers at the Kurume factory, in Fukuoka. These sneakers are made using the ancient Japanese method "Ka-ryu" - a vulcanization process that involves heating the outsole in a kiln, giving each pair a texture and finally a finish unique look like handmade ceramics.
Each shoe of Shoes Like Pottery is finished with the brand's signature stamped logo, including a wax decal of the legendary hammer, "Uchide no kozuchi." Legend says that when the hammer is swung, it grants the owner wishes and eternal good fortune. It is believed that this hammer is held by the Japanese deity, Daikokuten - one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese mythology.
Shoes from Shoes Like Pottery are easily identifiable by their signature blue bottom sole. This signature lends a subtle color accent to the classic canvas sneaker design. Each and every shoe is made of durable canvas. Because of this point will make the customer more comfortable to carry. Their simple, understated design combined with their comfort and durability keep these sneakers at the top of my rotation.
