REPRODUCTION OF FOUND
Launched in 2016 by Japanese designers deeply knowledgeable about vintage footwear, REPRODUCTION OF FOUND revives timeless military shoes from around the world. By uncovering universal designs from past eras and recreating them with modern materials, the brand offers pieces that feel both authentic and contemporary.







Italian Craftsmanship: Soft Nappa and Cow Leather
The upper is crafted from Italian soft nappa leather, known for its fine grain and gentle sheen. The more you wear it, the more it molds to your foot, developing a personal patina over time.



The lining and insole are also made from smooth cow leather, offering a wrapped, luxurious feel. The heel—prone to friction—is lined with soft suede to enhance comfort. A carefully considered use of materials elevates this pair into a refined essential for the modern wardrobe.





A Fusion of Military Ruggedness and Urban Refinement
The silhouette carries the sturdy lines of traditional military footwear, while the supple leather adds an elegant, understated expression. A sleek vamp and an enveloping fit define its balanced, sophisticated profile.



Leather laces add cohesion to the overall design.



The outsole features Italian-made rubber. Originally engineered to provide traction on wet naval deck surfaces, this military-derived component offers reliable grip and stability in daily life as well.



The shoe is constructed using the “Bolognese” method, known for its exceptional flexibility and foot-hugging comfort. Crafted in an Italian factory with decades of experience in military footwear, each pair reflects precise, time-honored craftsmanship.





A Deck Shoe for the Modern Landscape
Effortlessly fitting into city life and outdoor settings alike, this design blends quiet presence with functional elegance. As the leather ages, it develops depth and character—becoming a truly personal pair of deck shoes for the discerning wearer.
