Starting June 22nd, Mitsukaru Store, a select shop produced by Parco, will begin accepting pre-orders for a new sneaker (priced at ¥22,500) created in collaboration between mintdesigns and the historic European sneaker classic, the German Trainer.

The collaboration revives the Eastern European factory that had long produced the German Trainer, recreating the sneaker using soft, high-quality Italian leather. The sole features Mintdesigns' bold blue, and the foil-printed insole and original shoelaces with printed messages are all made in Japan.

Pre-orders are available from June 22nd to July 10th at the Mitsukaru Store Shibuya Parco branch, from July 15th to 31st at the Fukuoka Parco branch, and from June 24th to July 31st on the online store. Delivery is scheduled for early November.
