This is Arch Kelly Director Shimizukawa.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the December ordering event at Hankyu Men's Tokyo and WFG Ginza store. We received many orders that we are looking forward to making. Thank you very much.
Since its debut in July 2020, Arch Kelly has been producing men's shoes inspired by the beauty of American vintage shoes. Thanks to the support of all lovers of American and vintage shoes, the brand has grown to include an RTW collection available as ready-to-wear in addition to MTO, which can be made to order.
This autumn/winter order event was a great success, and we could feel the brand recognition is spreading. We also received enthusiastic orders that showed the affection of our customers for Arch Kelly. We would like to express our gratitude once again.

Now, we will be holding order events in Fukuoka and Osaka in January next year.

At the last ordering events in Fukuoka and Osaka, I received many interesting orders that even surprised me.
The fancy stitching on the upper is often seen on French toes (wide square toes) with cap toes, but it also goes well with round arch lasts. When the customer ordered, we were shown a photo of the Bingham shoes and requested this decorative stitching as an option.
The triple + fancy stitching on the cap and the five-stitching on the vamp line are highlighted with white stitching, and the two-tone upper stitching is a design that is sometimes seen on vintage shoes.
The V-tip was ordered with a combination of smooth and grain in the same color for the upper. The half-crow sole has a unique shape, but the customer requested that we could reproduce it from vintage materials. Later, Arch Kelly officially adopted it as an option "Sheffield Crow".
Perforations have been added to the grain leather and suede, and the same color combination U-wing. The number of eyelets has been changed to 7. Many customers order the Combi U-wing based on this shoe.
Combination wingtip. The order was for a combination of smooth and grain. To create the combination, we changed the pattern of the vamp and lace stay. With 7 eyelets, it has a vintage Allen Edmonds feel.
At the ordering events in Fukuoka and Osaka, Arch Kelly's options were expanded based on ideas brought in by customers, and the conversation with customers was endless.
Horween Cordovan Order
We will continue to take orders for cordovan. This will be the first time we hold the event in Fukuoka and Osaka.
WINGTIP 31233. Wingtip in burgundy cordovan with external eyelets. Perforations reminiscent of American traditional masterpieces create a striking presence.
V-tip 31463. The most popular V-tip is made of dark cognac cordovan. It has a deep color that appears greenish depending on the light.
RTW Collection
We also sell a lineup of ready-made shoes. We have the popular V-tip, the iconic Arch Kelly model, and the 7-eyelet cap toe. Please consider these when ordering.
Please make a reservation for the order meeting using the form below. We look forward to your participation!
