Several continues to add new items to their online store each week. These include pieces from their own line as well as complimentary products from other brands. One the latest arrivals in the latter category is the Doek Oxford – available in navy and ecru options, and soon to be joined by the equally appealing Court model. Produced using a weaving technique that dates back to the Edo era, it's great to see these deceptively simple shoes starting to be offered outside of Japan.

Doek, launched this spring with two enduring footwear styles, is a welcome addition to the Japanese classic sneaker market already inhabited by Sols and Shoes Like Pottery. Manufactured at the first-rate Moonstar factory using the Kurume region's famous Kasuri weaving technique, the Court model utilizes a similar shape to the Converse Jack Purcell. The undyed ecru-coloured canvas combined with a cork insole might look as basic as it gets, but it couldn't be more appealing.
