Sneakers^PRAS / Shellcap Low Hand Dyed sneaker indigo

Denim Sneakers to Enjoy Aging
PRAS introduces a pair of sneakers with a dyed finish on a standard model.

The design is based on the brand’s standard and popular “Shellcap Low” model.

The original canvas fabric is hand-dyed with indigo dye, giving the item a darker and darker look that is appealing.

Please enjoy the “color fading” that occurs as you wear them, just like denim pants.

PRAS
A new shoe brand produced in Kurume, where the long-established Japanese shoe manufacturer “MOONSTAR” is located. PRAS produces world-class products in pursuit of a brand and quality that can only be found in Okayama and Kurume.

Optimized thickness Kojima canvas
The upper is made of the brand’s original “Kojima canvas” produced in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.

The fabric’s thickness is optimized for durability and ease of wear by carefully considering the composition of thread, twist, and warp.

The natural texture of cotton, such as cotton waste and a good degree of irregularity, is also attractive.

Attractive hand-dyed
Indigo is used as the dye. The deep hue is created through repeated dyeing by craftsmen who dye each pair by hand using a brush.

Please enjoy the way the colors change and become more durable as they are worn in.

* The color will fade when wet with water, such as sweat or rain. Also, please be careful of color fading and color migration due to friction with the hems of pants and socks.

Handcrafted workmanship
The shell cap on the toe is designed to resemble a seashell.

The toe shell cap is a simple look, but an eye-catching and iconic detail.

The molding of the upper and sole is done by skilled craftsmen, a process that cannot be accomplished by machine, but only by hand.

Manufacturing method and materials are the key to wearability
The “vulcanized manufacturing method” is used to ensure that shoes can be used comfortably for a long time. The shoes are made by adding sulfur to raw rubber and heat reacting it, using a chemical reaction to change it into elastic and strong rubber.

Considering the characteristics of the Japanese foot
These shoes use a Japanese-made last and have a clean, slightly slender design. The simple form fits in with the styling of both men and women alike, making them a partner that you will want to wear every day.
