goyemon / DUAL BLACK GUM Store-limited sale

The "two stone straps" seen in traditional geta sandals. Inspired by the design of two straps arranged in parallel, this has been updated for a modern look. The "unda DUAL" is a pair of sandals characterized by a double-layered strap and a three-dimensional sole design. What catches your eye is the double-structure straps, which are made of different materials. The inside is made of PU suede, which is gentle on the skin, and not only enhances the design, but also provides a good hold on the foot and a comfortable fit. The stable fit provided by the two thongs offers a new sensation not found in previous UNDA shoes. The midsole that supports the feet uses a new structure called the "DUAL sole" that boldly protrudes from the conventional form. The three-dimensional expansion adds a sense of visual volume, Adds a sneaker-like presence to your feet. Of course, goyemon's unique cushioning is still intact, providing a comfortable fit that you can trust whether you're walking around town or traveling long distances on your travels. Another detail that symbolizes this model is the overlapping label. The double label on each heel is a design accent that embodies the name "DUAL." "unda DUAL" is a shoe that inherits the aesthetic sense behind its tradition while fitting into modern life. Among the DUAL series, "BLACK GUM" has a particularly firm appearance. This sneaker-like pair is unified in black but features a subtle brown outsole. The upper part of the thong is made of lightweight and durable ripstop material, while the lower part is made of synthetic leather with a subtle sheen. Contrast is added with a double strap of different texture. The accumulation of details that are typical of goyemon gives depth to both the appearance and the function. The footbed is made of highly durable polyurethane. This material is resistant to wear and tear and does not easily wear down even after long periods of wear, providing a stable feeling for your daily steps. The surface is intentionally left with a matte texture, giving it a soft finish that fits comfortably under the soles of your feet. The sole is a black DUAL midsole, with a brown outsole reminiscent of a gum sole underneath, adding a nostalgic, street-like look to the overall tight look.
