about
I want to convey Kobe shoes to everyone
"Kobe shoes" is a big industry in Kobe, so much so that Kobe was said to be "collapsed".
We still have various shoemaking techniques, equipment, and craftsmen, and we would like to continue to be a store that can contribute to shoemaking.

Searching for shoes that suit Japanese people
Kobe's shoes have evolved uniquely with new techniques and materials,
starting with custom-made, one-by-one hand-made shoes, and mechanical mass-produced chemical shoes.
Kobe shoes are based on wooden patterns that suit Japanese people, and we have the technology to propose shoes that match the times.
