The amount of brands doing classic shoes have grown significantly in recent years, after several decades of decline. This means that also more niche types get more and more options. Brands doing retro styled stuff with spade soles, double rows of stitching, and things like that. Now enthusiasts who like these styles have much more to choose from than finding old original vintage shoes.
The shoes here are from Arch Kerry, a Japanese brand focusing on making interpretations of American vintage shoes from the 50’s and 60’s. The making is impressive, for example look at the contrasting sole stitching here with two rows perfectly matching the fudging, very hard with machine-made stitches. They also have other more casual vintage styles and stuff that are highly suitable in todays day and age. One of several offering the classic old feel in new footwear, with a quality to match the old ones as well. We might not live 50’s or earlier, but we can have footwear like we did – the beauty of our day and age.
