Australia's Esteemed Sneaker Brand Makes Its Japanese Debut


The Secret Sneaker: "Volley"

A New Collection Reimagining Historic Styles with a Modern Touch



Volley was born in 1939 in Australia as a manufacturer of tennis shoes. From its founding to the present day, it has supported Australian tennis world champions, providing the footwear for their victories.

The lineups available in Japan, including "Volley O.C.," "Volley High Leap," and "Volley International," feature simple designs based on tennis shoes. Beyond their suitability for sports with excellent flexibility and propulsion, and rebound-rich insoles, these shoes showcase originality in details like the lightweight herringbone rubber soles, offering high functionality.

The main material is lightweight canvas, making them both light and durable. They will add a touch of lightness to your spring footwear. The charm of the canvas also deepens with wear, developing a unique texture.
