■POSSESSED SHOE_”THRASH”■[Limited edition

King of old school sneakers last Kingdom. The blue color “THRASH” of POSSESSED SHOE flagship model “SLAPPY” will be released in June. The combination of saxophone blue and navy colors is both nostalgic and new to some generations, making these 80’s culture-inspired shoes a must-have. The newly released model with rubber toe caps protects the vulnerable toes and provides enhanced impact resistance. The toe’s voluminous form is simple, yet designed to reduce the risk of injury. In short, both durability and versatility have been dramatically improved. The double-layer construction of the upper part, which can be called a feature of POSSESSED SHOE, is also employed in these shoes. The second layer of material prevents holes from opening in the shoe itself even if the surface material is scraped off. These sneakers are limited production items, and it seems that there will be no reproduction, so please do not forget to reserve your pair if you wish to own a pair.

The “SLAPPY” season limited color “THRASH” will be released for the 2022 SS season. The toe cap has been adopted and the outsole line has been eliminated, making for an easy to match navy color scheme that you will never get tired of.

The upper material of the standard POSSESSED SHOE model is 14oz cotton canvas. The characteristic of canvas material is that it is soft and taut with little stretch. It is often used for skate shoes because it is lightweight and durable among natural materials. Compared to shoes with leather uppers, canvas is less durable in terms of friction, but it has the advantage of being more maneuverable than leather when using the sides of the shoe to control the deck. THRASH” maximizes the advantages of canvas shoes, while the sides of the upper, which are subject to wear and tear, are made of two layers of suede (suede is the second layer), and by adopting a rubber toe cap on the toe, durability is enhanced. By adopting a toe cap, the shape of the shoe will last longer. The larger the area of the rubber toe cap, the more durability and prevention of losing shape. The toe caps used by POSSESSED SHOE are designed to cover the tip of the toe, where wear is most severe, while not interfering with toe joint movement. From the information.

DOUBLE LAYER OLLIE PAD & TOE CAP
The side part of the shoe, which is easily cut by Ollie, has a two-layer structure. It has high durability and is difficult to penetrate holes in the main body.
The ollie part is made of suede for both the first and second layers. A rubber cap is attached to the toe.

OUTSOLE AND INSOLE
Gum sole is used for the outsole. The waffle pattern enhances grip and flexibility. The insole uses a high-density urethane foam material with high shock absorption. The heel portion from the toe to the foot has a honeycomb structure for enhanced durability and wicking properties. The toe portion is 5 mm thick and the heel portion is 10 mm thick for improved shock absorption and control.

The shape of the shoe is long-lasting by adopting a toe cap. The larger the area of the rubber toe cap, the more durable and resistant it is. On the other hand, it can cause the toes to feel stiff when worn. The toe cap used for “White No Mercy” covers the tip of the toe, which is subject to the most abrasion, but does not interfere with the movement of the toe joint.

In the late 1980s, the brand director discovered skateboarding as an extension of the hardcore punk he was listening to at the time.
Obsessed with skateboarding, he formed the hardcore punk band THE SCUMBAG at the end of the 1980s, and the band was active for two years. In the mid 90’s, he started making skateboarding videos as a part of OPIOID VIDEO series with the riders of T-19, a skateboard brand in Tokyo, and by 2001, he had made 5 videos of skateboarding. By 2001, he had produced 5 videos. In the late 90’s, he launched the skate apparel brand RGOA with ESOW, and in 2000, he launched TRANSMIT, a domestic skate shoe brand 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. https://www.possessedshoe.com
