IN'EI

It's been about ten months since the announcement.

The IN'EI series has finally been released.

While many of ROLLING DUB TRIO's models are more work boot-like, this one has a chic, dressy finish.

Taking Junichiro Tanizaki's "Praise of Shadows" as the inspiration theme,

We created a model that we were satisfied with by repeatedly making samples, from selecting carefully selected leather to adjusting the last and the specifications around the sole.

A tribute to shadows, which is seen as a Japanese aesthetic, and which creates shadows from light.

The functional beauty and purity of the deep black stands out even in the dark

It is a model with a sophisticated yet strong presence that is characteristic of our style.

Timeless and timeless

I hope that these shoes will be passed down to future generations, just like his essays.
