On December 6th, the British luxury men's shoe brand John Lobb will open its fifth directly operated store in Japan on the first floor of the Galleria at Roppongi Midtown in Tokyo. The interior is designed to be open yet concealed from view, allowing customers to leisurely browse through the store's merchandise. New arrivals will be available, along with John Lobb's signature "personal style" ties and gloves. To commemorate the opening, the brand will be selling a limited edition of its signature "WILLIAM" model. Available in a deep blue-tinged black calfskin finish with gray stitching (¥175,350), the shoe is also available in a lizard leather version (¥367,500), which is usually available by pre-order. A special shoe tree engraved with "JOHN LOBB MIDTOWN" is included. John Lobb is a men's shoe brand founded in London over 150 years ago. It has been loved by a wide range of celebrities, from Maharajas to Frank Sinatra, and is still known as a brand that is used by the British Royal Family.
