The base for this design is Fred Perry's court shoe, "BREAUX." The resulting footwear is a fusion of British design and craft culture.

The upper is crafted from original goat suede, hand-printed with a silk screen by Katsukawa, who drew inspiration from British shoemaking for this "British"-themed creation.

The hybrid design, featuring a blend of solid and patterned sections in a modern grey and a traditional British maroon, evokes the diversity of British culture's DNA, origins, and traditions.

The "BREAUX CREEPER SUEDE" embodies the sophistication and tradition of British design. It was first released on the online shop until January 21st (Sunday), and will be available in stores from February 2nd (Friday). We encourage you to experience them firsthand.
