YUKETEN, which is of mixed Japanese and American descent, was founded in 1989 by Japanese-American designer Yuki Matsuda. Although it has only been around for 30 years, YUKETEN has become a leader in American cargo boots, and Nigel Cabourn, a great god in the retro world, is also a fan of his cargo boots, and often collaborates with YUKETEN.
After 30 years, YUKETEN has developed into an American handmade brand integrating cargo boots, loafers and bags.
In terms of craftsmanship, the ordinary style of YUKETEN's shoes and boots is the Moccasin process, while the high-end style adopts the Stitch down process, each pair of YUKETEN's shoes and boots takes an average of 96 hours to 120 hours to complete, and most of the work boots are assembled by 6 layers of hardware, so the soles usually give people a sense of thickness and excellent durability. In terms of design, YUKETEN is deeply influenced by the military style of the 20s and 30s of the last century, so the products are mostly biased towards the style of retro military boots.
Among the cargo boots series, the Maine Guide series is the leader of YUKETEN. The biggest difference between Maine Guide and other cargo boots is that it is very good at working the leather patchwork process of the upper, and has designed a lot of fancy styles; Second, the workmanship is exquisite and meticulous, and the characteristics of the Japanese who pay attention to details can be fully seen in the details, which is completely different from the rough details of American cargo boots; The third is that the upper of the boot is designed according to the classic upper of the moccasin. In terms of style selection, the DB Boots -Brown Houndstooth x W Har with Horween wax leather and Melton wool, and the Melton 2T Grey with full-grain leather and Melton wool are the holy items in the eyes of many Ameco enthusiasts.
In addition to the Maine Guide series, YUKETEN's name series is more suitable for daily wear because of its simple colors and leathers, and the workmanship is as elegant, and the design is not so exaggerated, such as Johnson and Eric. In addition to shoes, YUKETEN's most popular backpacks and messenger bags are the Triangle Rice Ball Backpack and Messenger Bag, for men who like American retro style, in addition to cargo boots with a triangle rice ball backpack, you will definitely be able to explain your style more thoroughly.
