- The Kenford Fineshoes releases monk strap shoes with a special design for "JOURNAL STANDARD."

The Kenford Fineshoes, which combines new elements with MADE IN JAPAN leather shoes with the concept of creating new values ​​for leather shoes, will release the "SUEDE MONK STRAP," a Journal Standard exclusive model of the new standard "NEW CLASSIC MONK STRAP SHOES," on Saturday, December 6th.

Based on The Kenford Fineshoes' new classic "New Classic Monk Strap Shoes", inspired by the archives of the 2000s, The "SUEDE MONK STRAP" is a special order model that uses dark brown suede not available in the in-line lineup. The sole is a thinner tank sole than the inline model, giving the boot-like silhouette a dressy look, and combined with the depth of the suede, it further enhances versatility.

Suede emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as an antithesis to overly tidy fashion, and since the 1990s has come to symbolize "refined toughness" in the street context. It is a mature material that speaks for its depth rather than its flashiness, and the choice to leave the bottom (underside) exposed also expresses a quiet rebellious spirit against formality and established values. This model is a limited edition specially produced as a "New Classic" that blends into modern styles while incorporating the background and message of the suede material, as is typical of JOURNAL STANDARD.

-Sales start on Saturday, December 6th
