Meticulously researched and faithfully reproduced: the elegant silhouette, the vintage logo, even the accompanying box.
The "VAN REGAL" Reissue Shoes Are Finally Here This November!
The 2011-12 Autumn/Winter collection from REGAL's concept store, 'REGAL Shoe&Co.', located on Fire Street in Shibuya, is set to launch around November. Among the lineup, we discovered the reissue "VAN REGAL" shoes! Four styles—loafers, chukka boots, wingtips, and plain-toes—are vividly brought back to life for the modern era.

Reissue of "VAN REGAL" first released in 1964. The definitive statement of the trad boom!
"As a standard leather shoe that the sneaker generation has rediscovered, they not only represent history but also showcase modernity as symbols that retain their originality even in today's world."—True to this passionate vision, REGAL's concept store 'REGAL Shoe&Co.' is popular not only with younger generations and women unfamiliar with REGAL, but also as a shop where one can experience REGAL's history, quality, and design.
This reissue of "VAN REGAL" is a collaboration shoe between the former VAN Jacket, the originator of the Ivy League boom, and Nippon Gomu (REGAL Corporation). After nearly half a century, it's a complete reissue that will bring tears to the eyes of fans from that era.
"VAN REGAL" captured the hearts of young people at the time, becoming a explosive hit. It was REGAL, which introduced the durable and robust Goodyear welt construction from America to Japan, that used this opportunity to grow in Japan. Now, after researching the lasts, materials, logos, shoe boxes, and other details from that era, a rebuilt version for modern times will finally be available around November.
Additionally, saddle shoes in a mid-cut style will be introduced as a new standard item from late October to early November. The colorways of black x gray and black x black feel fresh again today.
