KiyoshiroPatchBoots / Kiyoshiropatch boots

To celebrate Imawano Kiyoshiro's 55th anniversary, glamb has announced a capsule collection that will reconstruct the art pieces he left behind. The key item, Kiyoshiro Patch Boots, is a reprint of his own boots, which were created as live costumes, along with the craftsmen involved in the production at the time.

The reprint was fully supervised by S.S. Shoes, a long-established shoe store in Yotsuya 3-chome, Tokyo, which produced original boots. The company was finished by Fukuda Toshio, who directly interacted with Imawano Kiyoshiro and made shoes, and provided the patterns and wooden molds used at the time.

The patch pattern, hand-drawn by Imawano Kiyoshiro, is also reproduced using actual patterns. In addition to sewing from the front, it follows the complex specifications, such as hollowing out the center of the star to the back. The material, which combines smooth leather and enamel leather, has been adjusted to match the texture and color of the material stored by Baby's. The leather lining was purchased from a leather wholesaler used by S.S. Shoes from that time.

A Black model with all the parts reproduced in black is a reinterpretation of glamb. We will re-suggest the combination of smooth leather and enamel, but still offer a look that is easy to use for daily use. In addition, the zip-up puller has been changed to a slightly larger size than the one at the time, improving handling. The sole is a leather sole that Imawano Kiyoshiro himself has specified to make it easier to move on stage.
