MOONSTAR / Raly 32B Sneakers

MOONSTAR
A shoe brand from Kurume, Japan. A longstanding brand known for school gym shoes. Currently, they offer sneakers using the “vulcanization method” through high-end select shops, gaining popularity.

Sophisticated Black
The upper features a fabric made of Shushi-weave(Satin weave) with a dull gloss. It exudes a unique atmosphere different from canvas or leather.

Designs are crafted based on the knowledge accumulated over Moonstar’s 150-year history, incorporating various ideas into classic court-style sneakers.

The shoelaces use waxed laces to match the atmosphere of the upper, expressing an elegant demeanor.

The rustic duck fabric at the boundary with the sole accentuates the texture of the weave.

They use the “direct injection method,” known for its excellent fit and cushioning. Due to the need for extensive production facilities, this method can only be used in a few factories domestically, and it is also used for comfort shoes, known overseas as “shoes with bottoms like socks.”

※If white powder (bloom phenomenon) appears on the rubber surface, it may be due to the rubber aging preventives used in the manufacturing process. There is no problem with the product, so wipe it off with a soft cloth using commercially available rubber-specific wax (water-based). Silicone resin shoe polish can also be used.
