What Would You Create in This Once-a-Year, No-Extra-Charge Pattern Order?

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store | Adding a Modern Touch to Classic Elegance

Model | CHAPEL, Color | DEEP BLUE, Material | Misty Calf, Sole | Single Leather Sole




Why did you choose the CHAPEL model?

I chose the CHAPEL model because our customers at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi have consistently shown overwhelming support for it, and I wanted to see a variation. By selecting deep blue, I felt it would offer an elegant, modern interpretation while retaining the model's classic essence.

What are your expectations for the finished product?

I expect these shoes to become the "modern classic" that can be worn not only with suits but also in casual settings, adding a refined touch to any occasion.

United Arrows Ginza Store | A Perfect Match for UA's Seasonal Theme

Model | WILLIAM, Color | Midnight, Material | Suede, Sole | Commando Sole




Why did you choose the WILLIAM model?

Our recommended model at United Arrows Ginza is the double monk strap shoe, WILLIAM. The double sole offers a robust, British feel, and its classic design is highly popular among UA staff.

What are your expectations for the finished product?

Especially at the Ginza store, the WILLIAM's moderate casualness and versatility—pairing well with suits as well as jackets and trousers—have been popular since opening. It also complements the "British Preppy" style, which is UA's theme for the Autumn/Winter season.

John Lobb Iwataya Fukuoka Store | A Model Only Available Through By Request

Model | TUDOR, Color | PEWTER, Material | Suede, Sole | Single Leather Sole



Why did you choose the TUDOR model?

The TUDOR in suede is currently available only through By Request. I deliberately chose pewter for its modern feel.

What are your expectations for the finished product?

I expect these shoes to be versatile, suitable for a wide range of occasions from casual to business. They should also pair well with a more modern, stylish look.

John Lobb Japan Product Manager Makoto Kurashima | Discovering New Charm in the PHILIP II

Model | PHILIP II, Color | Parisian Brown, Material | Museum Calf, Sole | Single Leather Sole




Why did you choose the PHILIP II model?

The PHILIP II is a model with a refined design, recommended not only for business but also for formal occasions. However, by choosing a Parisian brown, which is a shade lighter than the usual black or dark brown available in stores, the shoes appear more lighthearted. It's a unique and beautiful color with a distinct orange nuance, rarely seen elsewhere.

What are your expectations for the finished product?

I believe we will discover a new facet of the PHILIP II. I look forward to enjoying a sophisticated, noble casual style by pairing them with trousers in off-white or light gray.
