Jikatabi K

A 2020 limited model that incorporates the checkered Kasuri Fabric into the traditional Jikatabi shoe design. "JIKATABI" is a traditional split toe footwear that originated from Kurume, Japan. It was commonly used in construction, farming, gardening, etc. Moonstar’s interpretation with a rubber sole makes it ideal for city wear. The rubber sole has been vulcanized which allows the rubber to be durable yet flexible, to conform to your feet, and last for a long time.  In this limited edition model, the original Kurume Kasuri Fabric that was woven with indigo-dyed threads will develop a unique character the longer it is worn.
