Sneakers Based on a Japan-Unreleased Model






C.E is a men's fashion brand launched in 2011 by graphic designer SK8THING, along with Toby Feltwell and Yutaka Hishiyama. In September, they opened a shop in Aoyama, Tokyo, which garnered attention not only for its apparel but also for its highly curated interior design.

The sneakers, a collaboration with VANS, are based on the "BEARCAT," a model not previously released in Japan. The upper is crafted from Ventile, known for its excellent waterproof, water-repellent, breathable, and moisture-permeable properties, while matte rubber is used for the heel counter, sides, and toe.

Alongside their rugged functionality, the graphics applied to the heel counter, tongue, and tag are a design element that symbolizes this collaboration and should not be overlooked.

Meanwhile, "C.E OWNER’S MANUAL" is C.E's first boxed book. It comprises 1504 pages, utilizing footage shot and edited by SK8THING. Additionally, it comes with a vinyl postcard that produces sound when played on a turntable, a DVD, and a flyer with graphics printed on both sides.

Both the sneakers and the book are scheduled to be released on Saturday, November 12, at C.E shops, their website, and BEAMS stores.
