A Special William for the Opening: An Exquisite Piece Exuding Masculine Dignity

The highlight special item for this opening is a limited edition of the brand's signature and long-selling model, "William" (pictured above). Mr. Kunitomo, the manager of the Roppongi Midtown store, recommends it, saying, "The Midtown Special is the 'Mystic Black' William. While it appears black, it takes on a greyish hue in natural light or can be perceived as a deep navy, truly showcasing the leather's quality. Furthermore, the use of dark grey stitching creates a refined finish without stark contrast against the leather, offering a completely different expression from the standard William."





Additionally, this William features a full black lining, maintaining its dressy appeal even when removed. It comes with a dedicated shoe tree engraved with "JOHN LOBB MIDTOWN" and is priced at a considerable ¥175,350, making it quite a bargain.

"William is an all-around shoe that transcends trends and suits a wide range of on and off-duty styles. The Midtown Special features a double sole, embodying the robust and practical spirit of British footwear with a masculine flair," says Manager Kunitomo.

Marunouchi, a leading business district in Japan, and Roppongi, a continuously evolving fashion hub. We anticipate the curated selection at John Lobb's shops, reflecting each city and its people.
