A pair of Goyemon setta sneakers in tonal white, the shape of a traditional Japanese sandal carried on a modern cushioned sole.
The Piece
Setta are the flat sandals that have finished formal Japanese dress for centuries, a woven or covered footbed held by a hanao thong. Goyemon reworks the form from below, keeping the clean setta silhouette on top and setting it on a cushioned sneaker sole, so the sandal can be worn all day on city pavements as easily as with a kimono or jinbei.
This pair is white from top to bottom. The footbed is smooth and gently rounded at the edges, the hanao is a broad white thong, and a small tab at the heel carries the maker's mark. Seen from the side, the sole rises in a soft wedge with a clear air window at the heel, and underneath, a tread of heart shaped inome lugs, the old boar's eye motif of Japanese design, runs from toe to heel around the Goyemon name. The pair has seen very little wear.
