Midtown Special Models: Exquisite Leathers and Colors to Elevate Your Style

Mr. Kunitomo Noritoshi, the manager introducing the Midtown Special models, expressed his enthusiasm: "At the Tokyo Midtown store, we aim to attract new customers and fans to John Lobb. We also want to grow as a brand."

"William" Parisian Brown Suede
"This is a Midtown Special for the William, the face of John Lobb, crafted in a suede with an elegant hue between dark brown and tobacco. The October sole offers comfort and grip, adding a sporty feel and a lightness not found in the standard William. It's a bespoke creation made possible by the solid foundation of the William model," he explained.
Price | ¥178,500

"Chapel" Red
"The Chapel, characterized by its lack of a tongue, is a Prestige line crafted from a single piece of leather and has become a popular new standard with its double buckle. The 8000 last, with its semi-square and sharp silhouette, pairs exceptionally well with the nuanced Museum Calf. This Midtown Special features a Museum Calf with a blend of red and dark brown tones, and the lining is also unified in red. They can be worn for various occasions."
Price | ¥231,000 (includes shoe tree)

"Fenchurch" Pewter Suede
"The Fenchurch is distinguished by its saddle that extends all the way to the sole. The 4098 last fits well with Japanese feet, and the slightly elongated toe box offers a dressy aesthetic. Furthermore, the dense, short-pile suede, with its mix of brown and gray tones, offers a blend of casualness and dressiness. It's a charming combination."
Price | ¥210,000

"Kenborne" Museum Calf in Three Colors
"The Kenborne, with its cap toe and perforations, exudes a classical atmosphere, while the modernity of the 7000 last refines the overall style. It's a modern buckle shoe, reminiscent of French or Italian designs within the John Lobb collection. For the Midtown Special, we offer three colors to match your outfits. We encourage you to try these new colors."
Price | ¥189,000 each

"Thornton" Aldila
"Currently, the Thornton is the only semi-brogue in the John Lobb collection. Its egg-shaped toe and slightly elongated, classical, and elegant silhouette are characteristic of the 7000 last. Crafted in Aldila's Misty Calf, it achieves a very stylish finish. Misty Calf is particularly recommended as its expression deepens and refines when exposed to natural light."
Price | ¥199,500
