From The Kenford Fineshoes Staff on June 10, 2026

ー The Kenford Fineshoes releases "Black Khaki Suede," the second suede collection from its 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 its second new suede collection, "Black Khaki Suede," on Saturday, June 13, 2026. It will be available at the official online store, the flagship stores Fine Shoes Tokyo and Osaka, and select retailers.

ー The "grungy" vibe of dress shoes

Following the first collection, this collection features new colors with suede placed in the upper center of the brand's new classic series, which is a new standard model. To boldly incorporate the "grungy vibe" unique to street style into sophisticated suede dress shoes, we chose a khaki color inspired by 90s New York hip-hop culture and the visuals of artists wearing military apparel from that era.

ー "NYC Edition" - Kenford's authentic daily life captured at the source of inspiration.

In addition to the new khaki suede collection, new visuals have been produced featuring people from various fields wearing the brand's proud classic items. The entire shoot was carried out in New York City, mainly in Downtown, expressing how Kenford naturally blends in with the real atmosphere of the area. The powerful energy of New York City and Made-in-Japan footwear are combined, resulting in visuals that embody Kenford's stance of unleashing the potential of leather shoes in all scenes. These visuals will not only be released on the brand's official Instagram, but a special booklet compiling unreleased cuts will also be produced and distributed simultaneously with the product launch, so please visit the store.
