This high top sneaker from Shoes Like Pottery is a flexible and durable canvas sneaker crafted in Japan. The sneaker was forged using the ancient Japanese technique "Ka-ryu" - a vulcanizing process that includes firing the outsoles in a kiln, giving each pair a unique texture and finish. The shoes are fitted with reinforced heels and toes, a cushioned in-sole, and finished off with the brand's signature wax stamp decal depicting the uchide no kozuchi, a magic mallet which, when swung, was believed to grant it's holders wishes.
