Moonstar
Gym Classic : White
Since 1873, Moonstar has been producing minimal and functional footwear in Kurume, Japan. Kurume first prospered through the rubber industry, manufacturing tires and jika-tabi shoes—rubber-soled work boots with a split toe. Each pair of Moonstar shoes is cut and sewn by hand. Once fully assembled, the next stage of the process is called “vulcanization,” or “ka-ryu” in Japanese. Moonstar often refers to its shoes as “shoes like pottery,” as each pair is fired like ceramics in an oven for one hour to fuse the sole with the upper.
This model revisits an iconic training shoe from the 1960s.

Since 1873, Moonstar has been manufacturing shoes in Kurume, Japan, that combine traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation. Each pair is carefully cut, sewn, and assembled by hand, then subjected to vulcanization ("ka-ryu"), a unique process that permanently fuses the rubber sole and canvas upper. This rare craftsmanship, passed down for over 150 years, guarantees sturdy, comfortable, and timeless shoes, true to the spirit of Made in Kurume.
