Hiroshi Tsubouchi Shark-Sole Derby Shoe

From Japanese designer Hiroshi Tsubouchi comes these aptly named ‘Shark Sole’ derby shoes. Not only do the gleaming white soles look like the precarious teeth (or fins) of a shark, the deep blue leather uppers are reminiscent of the briny depths. Hiroshi Tsubouchi has been working with shoes since 1977 and is today known as one of Japans finest shoemakers. His signature is the combination of classic designs and shapes with more innovative details, colors and materials. These are no exception, with premium leather uppers, white laces and Tri-colored ripple sole. Made in Japan, they’re available at Tres Bien Shop.
