What is BARRACUDA?

BARRACUDA is a black sneaker that is a modern reworking of a 1970s sports shoe. High-quality thick oil leather by a long-established tannery creates a vintage look, while the refined silhouette is characterized by a sophisticated look. The attention to detail in the pinking, etc., and the design that eliminates waste embody the brand's philosophy. The last (foot shape) of the men's shoe is adopted, and it corresponds from casual to business casual. The Mackay manufacturing method, which allows for sole replacement, makes for a pair that can be worn for a long time.

■Recreation of vintage

The design is based on sports shoes seen in the 1970s. The jagged pinking treatment, the balance between the toe part and the lacing part, and the treatment of the footwear opening have been adjusted millimeter by millimeter. The side surfaces and heel area are kept as simple as possible, sublimating the shoe into a modern design.

Beautiful Shape

The last (a wooden form that imitates the shape of the foot) is a men's shoe type. The assembly is also made in a men's shoe factory, so the last shape is blended well over time, and the last shape is fully drawn out.

■Vintage oil leather

Thick oil leather is used for the upper. This high quality leather gives a vintage look and feel from the beginning of wear, and the more the shoes are worn, the more they change over time to a more richly flavored look.

Manufacturing method for long-lasting wear

The Mackay manufacturing method is used, which makes it easy to replace the sole and reduces the rate of shoe breakage. The appeal of these shoes is that they can be worn for a long time while being repaired for long-lasting wear. As long as the Mackay-stitched exterior Ainaka is intact, the sole can be replaced.

■Variations

The sole design is available in three types: Postman, Lift, and Tank. You can choose the one that best suits your various situations.

blueover Brand Introduction

Blueover was launched in 2011. Hitoshi Watari, a former product designer, has been working on a sneaker brand to prevent the loss of accumulated domestic manufacturing skills and to connect the spiritual richness that resides in them. In honor of local craftsmen, materials, processing, and manufacturing processes are done in Japan as much as possible. Rather than making functional sneakers that stand out from the crowd, they emphasize the importance of being easy to walk in and easy to wear, and continue to make shoes that can be worn throughout the ages.
