From The Kenford Fineshoes Staff on Monday, August 25, 2025

This time we are announcing the release of a new product. Our first collaboration loafer with AVIREX, an American culture brand from New York, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, "ICON of FLIGHT" will be released on Friday, August 29th. There is also event information, so please check it out.

-Tank Sole Loafers as an AVIREX classic

This product is a redesign of our classic model, combining AVIREX's classic elements. The MA-1 and A-2 flight jackets are incorporated into the loafers to create an iconic pair. While using the same leather as the inline model, we explored the limits of expression and chose a new technique.

The black and sage versions feature embossed leather that is reminiscent of the heavyweight nylon used in the MA-1, creating a new look for a material that "looks like nylon, even though it's leather." The insoles are orange, reminiscent of the MA-1 liner, and the logos of both brands are engraved in gold on each side, adding to the special feel.

The third colorway was developed to celebrate AVIREX's 50th anniversary, with a design inspired by the A-2 Flight Jacket. Using a new material incorporating transfer printing technology, the AVIREX "map pattern" is expressed in leather, paired with antique-style dark brown leather. Each "map pattern" is a one-of-a-kind item, with different pattern combinations. We hope you enjoy the differences as a result of "randomness" and "individuality."

- AVIREX-spec "TORI" now available

In addition, the currently sold-out loafer accessories will be released with a design featuring the eagle, the symbol of AVIREX. As the production quantities are limited, this product can only be obtained through this special project, so be sure to check it out as well.

- On sale at AVIREX SHIBUYA on Friday, August 29th.

The products will be available for pre-sale at the AVIREX Shibuya store from Friday, August 29th. A launch party will also be held at the store from 6:00 PM on the same day. MURO and SOUSHI will be DJing, fully embodying the concept of this collaboration: "Classic items are passed down through generations." Please come along!
