From The Kenford Fineshoes Staff on Monday, October 2, 2023

Thank you for visiting our online store. Notice of new product release.
The new product we are announcing this time is not shoes, but a new genre of "loafer accessories." Literally, it's an accessory that attaches to loafers.

It is a new genre of item that can add decorativeness similar to a bit loafer to a simple leather loafer by simply clipping it into the notch in the center of the loafer. This item has a variety of backgrounds, so please check it out.

The orthodox loafer is called a "coin loafer," and its design name is said to come from the culture of putting a coin in the center of the loafer. Kenford has shown respect for this culture for many years, including including original coins with the loafers produced in the 1990s. The loafer accessories we are releasing this time are Kenford's interpretation of this culture and are co-produced with the accessory brand <IN-PUT-OUT>.

Unfettered by existing ideas, we have created a Kenford-like item that uses free ideas to add a rough feel to traditional leather shoes. The design of this bird is inspired by the Yurikamome, which has been designated as the bird of Tokyo. This design is suitable for the first edition, expressing the idea of ​​flying towards a new future that is an extension of history and tradition.

Additionally, in conjunction with the release of loafer accessories, we will be holding a Popup Store "IRIBITARI" from October to November.
A launch party with free entrance will be held on October 6th (Friday), the first day of the exhibition period. Please make sure to secure your schedule and come experience Kenford's new worldview!

In addition, with the help of select shop Journal Standard, Popup Store has opened not only in Tokyo but also in Nagoya, Kyoto, and Fukuoka for the first time. This is a great opportunity to see loafers outside of the Kanto area, so if you're in the area, please come and visit us.
