We make SPINGLE, original handmade sneakers with a focus on comfort. Inheriting a factory that has been in operation since before the war, we have continued to carry on the traditional vulcanized shoe manufacturing method. GLOBAL SHOES GALLERY, a directly managed store across from the factory, carries a wide selection of shoes and bags, mainly SPINGLE. There is a gallery and a cafe inside the building, so you can not only take your time choosing shoes, but also use it as a base for walking around Fuchu, or as a place to take a break during your trip.

Hiroshima-based handmade sneaker brand SPINGLE and its classic model SP-110

Have you heard of "SPINGLE," a handmade sneaker made in Fuchu, Hiroshima Prefecture , a Fuchu City famous for its thriving manufacturing industry? These comfortable sneakers have fans not only in Japan but also overseas.

SPINGLE is a sneaker brand that was founded in 2002 and has been loved by people for over 20 years. In particular, the brand's iconic "SP-110" is a classic model that will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the end of 2024.

A standard model is one that has been in production since its creation. The SP-110 has never undergone a model change since its creation in 2004. The product itself is characterized by its comfort and longevity, with outsoles made in the company's own factory in Hiroshima, light, flexible, and strong kangaroo leather, and durable latex sponge insoles.

A closer look at the SP-110

Born in 2004

The SP-110 was born at the end of 2004, two years after the brand was founded. It has almost the same design as the brand's first model, the SP-101, but the biggest difference is that the upper is made of kangaroo leather.

Kangaroo leather was once used for soccer cleats, and is a lightweight, flexible, thin yet strong material. It is also used for motorcycle suits. The kangaroo leather used by SPINGLE is a meat by-product, and is made by tanning the skin that is produced during meat processing. Kangaroo leather is very small compared to cowhide, and has many scratches due to its aggressive nature. At SPINGLE, skilled craftsmen cut out the leather into the shape of the upper, taking care to minimize the amount of waste.

A design that is recognizable as SPINGLE from any angle

The SP-110 follows the look of SPINGLE's first model, the SP-101. The SP-101, which was born at the same time as the brand was founded, was designed to have a look that was recognizable as a SPINGLE from any angle.

A distinctive feature of this shoe is the "rolled up" sole, where the outsole rises up onto the upper.

The inspiration for this design came from gym shoes that were once manufactured in the factory inherited from the parent company. The look of gym shoes and the wavy pattern used in the sole of the shoes were also adopted for the outsole of the SP-101.

These roots are firmly inherited in the SP-110.

Standard and limited edition colors

The SP-110 has been released in a variety of colors over its 20-year history. The color that has been produced without running out is ivory. It is a calm color that is close to gray and goes well with any outfit. Other standard colors such as black, white, and brown are also available.

The SP-110 offers seasonal limited edition colors to entertain fans. Some colors are released frequently, while others are only available once. Metallic colors with a cracked finish are also popular.

SP-110 20th Anniversary Collection

SPINGLE plans to release a series of limited edition models of the SP-110 in celebration of its 20th anniversary as part of the "Anniversary Collection."

The first wave of six colors will be released simultaneously this March.

These six colors were selected from the most popular colors of the SP-110 released in the past and reconstructed to fit this collection. They will be sold at the SPINGLE specialty store, the official SPINGLE online store.

A custom shoe hole event will also be held at the same time.

We will also be holding a limited time event where you can customize your shoe holes. During this event, anyone who purchases an SP-110, including the anniversary collection, can customize the shoe holes with eyelets of their choice for free. Of course, you can choose not to customize them, or you can change the color of just one spot, or all of them, and have fun in any way you like.

Event period: March 19, 2025 to March 31, 2025

Eligible: Customers who purchased the SP-110 during the campaign period
