goyemon / DUAL BLACK GUM Store-exclusive sale

The "two-stone thong" seen in traditional geta sandals. Inspired by the design of two thongs arranged parallel to one another, this has been updated for a modern look. The "unda DUAL" is a pair of sandals characterized by its double-structured thong and three-dimensional sole design. What catches the eye is the double-structured thong, which combines different materials. The inside is made of PU suede, which is gentle on the skin, and not only enhances the design but also provides a secure hold and a comfortable fit. The stable fit provided by the two thongs brings a new sensation not found in previous Unda sandals. The midsole that supports your feet uses a new structure called "DUAL sole" that boldly protrudes from the conventional form. The three-dimensional expansion adds a visual sense of volume, Adds a sneaker-like presence to your feet. Of course, goyemon's unique cushioning is still intact, providing a comfortable fit that you can trust, whether you're walking around town or traveling long distances on your travels. Another detail that symbolizes this model is the overlapping label. The double label on each heel is a design accent that embodies the name "DUAL." The "unda DUAL" is a shoe that inherits the aesthetic sense behind its tradition while fitting into modern life. Among the DUAL series, "BLACK GUM" has a particularly firm appearance. This sneaker-like pair is unified in black, but features a subtle brown outsole. The upper part of the thong is made of lightweight and durable ripstop material, while the lower part is made of synthetic leather with a subtle sheen. The double thongs with different textures add contrast. The accumulation of goyemon-like details adds depth to both the look and the function. The footbed is made of highly durable polyurethane. This material is resistant to wear and tear and will not wear down even after long periods of wear, providing a stable and secure feeling for your daily steps. The surface is intentionally left matte, allowing it to conform to the soles of your feet. The sole is a black DUAL midsole, with a brown outsole reminiscent of a gum sole underneath, adding a nostalgic, street-inspired look to the overall clean-cut look.
