From The Kenford Fineshoes Staff on September 23, 2025

- A pop-up store will be held to celebrate the launch of the brand's first lace-up shoes.

For two days on September 20th and 21st, Kenford opened a new pop-up store at the gallery space "THE PLUG" in Harajuku. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many customers who attended this event, which commemorated the release of the brand's first lace-up leather shoes, "Paisley Lace Up Shoes."

The product is currently sold out, but is scheduled to be restocked in October. Please check this report for information and wait for the restock in October.

Into the inorganic space, we brought in original black steel fixtures specially ordered by MILLS to display PAISLEY LACE UP SHOES. In fact, we have been gradually adding more fixtures made by MILLS since April 2012. To coincide with this POP UP, we created a pegboard that allows you to freely arrange the shoes.

- Launch party with 3 DJs

From 6:00pm on the first day of the event, a reception will be held featuring three DJs with ties to Kenford.
The venue was packed with customers, and it was impressive to see everyone casually slipping their feet into their lace-up shoes while enjoying the music.

- Back in stock as a standard item and new colors added.

The newly released lace-up shoes, plain toe shoes, wingtips, and saddle shoes have been so popular that the initial production run is almost sold out, but they will be restocked in October to be developed as standard models alongside the loafers. We also plan to add new colors other than the paisley pattern from time to time, so please look forward to the next opportunity to purchase.

This pop-up store was the first step in Kenford's journey from loafer brand to shoe brand, aiming for even greater heights. We once again realized that this was only possible thanks to the support of our loyal customers. Thank you so much. We will continue to take on challenges that are unique to Kenford and strive to surprise you, so please look forward to them.

See you again somewhere!
