■POSSESSED SHOE_WOUNDER MOUSE■

The “WOUNDER MOUSE” is a basic black upper of the already discontinued NUBACK x CAMBUS SLIP ON type “RATTUS” with no sole line. The SLIP ON for skateboarding, which is hard to slip on and off and durable, uses the traditional canvas material for the toe and heel. The body part has been renewed in nubuck material. The fit that softly wraps around the instep of the foot is a feeling that can only be experienced in a free and comfortable shoe. The ollie pad portion is made of double-layered suede, making it hard to get holes and sturdy. Completely made-to-order and sold out by the manufacturer.

Slip-on sneakers were born into this world in the late 70’s, derived from California youth culture. The slip-on sneaker was one of the old school shoes that gained overwhelming support from skaters, BMX riders, and punk rockers of the same era, and later became popular worldwide. The simple construction of the sneaker made it popular as a versatile casual sneaker that could be easily coordinated with any outfit, and it became explosively popular.

Slip-ons became popular as shoes that could be easily slipped on and off without laces, as the term “slip-on” implies. They have a high reputation among skateboarders for being easy to put on and take off, and the grip, soft and comfortable sole, and overwhelming durability that can withstand skating well have made them a favorite of many skateboarders. They are sturdily designed shoes that follow a stable wearing feeling without coming off, eliminating the slight disadvantages of conventional slip-ons. This is the result of POSSESSED SHOE’s precise construction techniques and innovative ideas, which also focus on fabrics and sewing.

The SLIP ON is designed for skateboarding with a low heel lift to prevent slipping off. The instep is made of suede, and the opening is designed to fit the foot by the moderate stretch of the leather material without any piping. The insole is made of high-density urethane material with high shock absorption for a comfortable fit. The ollie pad is made of POSSESSED’s unique double-layer construction, which is tough and prevents holes from forming.

CONCEPT
A shoe brand with durability and functionality that can withstand serious skateboarding, with a simple design that does not choose who wears it.

DOUBLE LAYER OLLIE PAD
The side part of the shoe that is easy to be cut by OLLIE has a two-layer structure.
The durability is high and it is difficult to penetrate holes in the main body.
The first and second layers of the OLLIE PAD are both made of nubuck.
Nubuck is a material that is soft like suede and has the same strength as outer leather.

OUTSOLE and INSOLE
A gum sole is used for the outsole.
The waffle pattern provides a high level of grip and flexibility.
The insole uses a high-density urethane foam material with high shock absorption.
The heel portion is honeycomb structured for durability and high wicking properties.

In the late 1980s, the brand director discovered skateboarding as an extension of the hardcore punk he was listening to at the time.
While obsessed with skateboarding, he formed the hardcore punk band THE SCUMBAG at the end of the 80’s and started making videos of the band skateboarding, producing 5 videos by 2001. At the same time, he launched the skate apparel brand RGOA with ESOW in the late 90’s. In 2000, he launched the skate shoe brand TRANSMIT in Japan, which was developed in collaboration with PRO-KEDS. By 2001, TRANSMIT had released skate shoes including pro-signature series by ESOW, ZIZOW, and KIKS, but TRANSMIT was closed in 2002 and RGOA was closed in 2007. After that, he experienced full-scale industrial production of apparel and other products.
He launched POSSESSED in 2016, utilizing his experience designing shoes at TRANSMIT. He still rides skateboards and always tests products himself. Currently, he writes a column “Skateboarding: A New Learning from the Past” for VHS MAG, a skateboarding web media.
