ー The Kenford Fineshoes releases suede collection from new standard "New Classic" series.

The Kenford Fineshoes, a Made-in-Japan leather shoe brand with the concept of "building new values for leather shoes," will release a new collection featuring its first-ever suede material on May 16, 2026 (Saturday). It will be available on the official online store and at its flagship stores, Fineshoes Tokyo and Osaka.

ー A collection crafted in black with a combination of smooth leather and suede.

This collection is based on three models from the brand's new standard "New Classic" series: U-Moc Lace-up, U-Moc Monk Strap, and Coin Loafers. By placing black suede on the central part of the upper, the collection adds a new expression to the traditional form, where different textures coexist.

ー New visuals that interpret the texture of suede, "connecting dress and casual."

Sometimes a symbol of elegance, sometimes a classic staple, and sometimes an icon of youth culture and street style. We interpreted the multifaceted nature of suede, which has changed its expression with each era and scene, from our unique perspective and incorporated it into the visuals. This visual, created under the theme "Open Your Mind," is inspired by the background of suede, a feature of the product, and conveys the message that we want people to enjoy their fine shoes in their own way, with free ideas and a creative spirit that is not bound by conventions.
