Enterprise Japan Women's Cowhide Suede Sneakers 61 02

The ENTJPN 61 is born within THE ARCHIVE SERIES, the Enterprise Japan project dedicated to the contemporary reinterpretation of archive shoes. It's a research exercise where proportions, materials and visual codes are reinterpreted through the brand’s DNA.

Inspired by 1960s running shoes, the silhouette is slim and light, with essential volumes that evoke the aesthetics of classic sportswear. The clean and functional design conveys an authentic attitude, made to stand the test of time and accompany daily movement.

The suede upper and velvet inserts, offered in a delicate pink palette, highlight the sleek lines of the silhouette and underscore its sophisticated character. The EJ Rocket logo, printed in contrast on the side, lightens up to become an essential graphic sign, almost like a Japanese kanji: an element that unites movement, identity, and culture into one form. The double set of laces, pink and mauve, adds a distinctive detail that allows for personalising the sneaker's look, while the tongue with heritage label evokes the imagery of university competitions in the sixties.

The thin sole, characterised by a deliberately lived-in effect, introduces time as a projected value: a detail that gives authenticity and character to the sneaker.
