After spending an era immersed in skateboarding, the shoe brand "
MANEBU" is recommended for those who have slightly shifted to an adult lifestyle, featuring a style that combines sneaker soles with leather shoe uppers.
Supporting individuals who thrive creatively without barriers between play and work, MANEBU celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. We spoke with Yuta Aoyama from DAXIS, the company behind MANEBU.
"Learning" x "Imitating" for MANEBU
"MANEBU started in the autumn and winter of 2014 and this year marks its 10th anniversary. Exactly ten years ago, casual shoe brands featuring sneaker soles and leather shoe uppers were beginning to appear overseas. "Amidst this trend, I wanted to create a stylish shoe brand that focused on the concept of 'sneaker soles with leather shoe uppers.'
"Given that DAXIS originally had partnerships with leather shoe factories, we decided to launch MANEBU by collaborating with Hiroki Yokota from MASAKA.
