Summer Denim and Footwear

Hello. This is Nukui from andPheb.

Nishiyama and I talk every day about how we still want to wear denim even when it's over 30°C.

While I love raw denim that you break in yourself, pre-distressed denim is naturally comfortable, fresh, and light. It goes well with sandals, sneakers, or leather shoes.

Today, I will introduce some pre-distressed denim and the footwear to match.

Let's enjoy denim this summer.

A model based on the popular H.D. PANT, rearranged into a BUGGY PANT with a wider hem.

It emphasizes the voluminous, unique silhouette created by the darting. It uses a standard 12oz denim fabric suitable for year-round wear, finished with a vintage-style wash.

This has an overwhelmingly baggy silhouette among our pants. Recommended for those who love wide pants.

The H.D. Buggy boasts an overwhelming width. It features the beige-toned fade characteristic of NEEDLES. The flare is fun, as it lets you catch a glimpse of your footwear with every step.

SANDERS Military Ghillie Shoe MILITARY GHILLIE SHOE MADE IN ENGLAND (SD-1745-BLACK)

¥78,100 including tax

See this item →

A collection planned from the last, based on military shoe archives held by SANDERS, an official supplier to the MOD (UK Ministry of Defence). It offers all-around models that can be applied from casual to dress styles. The military collection is a Japan-exclusive line produced by reviving the wooden lasts that SANDERS actually used for UK Ministry of Defence shoes 20 years ago. It features a beautiful classic silhouette, and the name on the insole is a revival of the original name from that time, rather than the current one.

The wavy eyelet design unique to the GHILLIE gives it a much more distinctive look than regular lace-up shoes. While retaining a country feel, it is easy to incorporate into everyday outfits. The upper is polished leather. It has a glossy finish that is resistant to scratches and dirt; you can maintain the shine by brushing it and then polishing it with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of water. It is easy to care for, so it is also recommended for those wearing leather shoes for the first time.

It is wonderful to pair decorative Ghillie shoes with baggy pants. You can play with sock colors, and it also serves as an accent for simple summer outfits.

Painter pants featuring faux tool pockets and a clean, straight silhouette that falls straight down. The processing, which aims for a mood different from typical vintage fading, is finished by combining various hand-worked and washing processes by craftsmen, finely adjusting the depth of the fade and color shading. This season, the overall fading has been intensified, updating it with a stronger reflection of wear and fade.

9.5oz denim woven using natural uneven yarn of American cotton, rope-dyed with pure indigo that is slightly lighter in color. The weft is woven with gray to give depth to the indigo blue color. It features a raw-like expression with the singeing process intentionally omitted.

Beautiful straight painter pants. They feel like slacks. When paired with sandals, the faded look adds a sense of ease.

premio gordo's new 26SS model, "Mies". A pair designed with the balance of vintage shoes in mind.

Small decorative holes are placed on the side of the eyelets, and the toe cap is designed to be smaller than a typical straight tip. By suppressing excessive decoration, the natural beauty of the leather itself is highlighted.

The upper uses vegetable-tanned leather from Italy's INCAS tannery. It is a deep black with a slightly grayish tone, takes cream well, and has a soft, supple texture that conforms to the foot.

Adopting the Goodyear welted construction, it is finished as a pair that you can grow and enjoy for a long time.

Pairing elegant straight tips with denim creates a moderate sense of ease.

A balance that is neither too formal nor too rough. The neatness of leather shoes and the natural expression of denim blend well, making your daily style look just a little more elegant.
