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.

1. SPINGLE: Handmade sneakers popular with foreign visitors tourists

Do you want to buy a souvenir that is unique to Japan to commemorate your visit? Many foreign visitors tourists buy Japanese souvenirs such as imitation swords and chopsticks, but there are also many foreign visitors tourists who choose sneakers as souvenirs. The brand name is SPINGLE.

SPINGLE sneakers are assembled by hand by craftsmen at a factory in Hiroshima Prefecture. They feature rubber outsoles manufactured in our own factory that rise up toward the upper. We call this a "rolled-up sole," and it is a design that makes it recognizable as SPINGLE sneakers from any angle.

Many of the sneakers are made of leather, but there are also some made of canvas or knit fabric. Why not choose a pair of great Japanese quality sneakers as a souvenir?

2. Top 3 best-selling items popular with foreign visitors tourists

Now, let us introduce you to three best-selling items at SPINGLE that are popular among foreign visitors tourists.

(1) Stress-free knit material SP-528

The SP-528 is a sneaker made with a breathable knit upper, a rubber outsole made in-house, and a cup insole.

The slip-on style is made of stretchy knit material, so you can be free from the hassle of tying shoelaces and the stress of a cramped upper. A heel loop is attached to prevent the opening from getting caught when wearing the shoes.

It's also highly breathable, so it will come in handy when traveling to Japan during the hot seasons.

(2) Water-repellent canvas fabric SP-1057

SPINGLE's classic sneaker, SP-1057, is a casual sneaker made of canvas. Although it is made of canvas, the surface is water-repellent, so it is no problem even if it suddenly rains.

Many customers choose canvas sneakers because of their breathability and ease of use. Another recommended point is that they are more affordable than leather sneakers. They are also perfect for people who are wearing SPINGLE for the first time.

The basic colors are white, navy, and beige, but in spring and summer, limited colors such as purple, light blue, and orange will be available. If you have seen it in a store, you are very lucky.

(3) Speaking of SPINGLE, this is it! SPINGLE's signature model, the SP-110

This is the most representative sneaker that is synonymous with SPINGLE, a Japanese handmade sneaker born in Hiroshima.

The shoe will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the end of 2024. With its timeless, simple design, it has been adorning the feet of many people.

It features a rolled-up rubber sole made by the company, kangaroo leather, and a soft latex sponge insole. In addition to basic colors such as ivory, white, and black, various colors have been released over the past 20 years, including metallic colors with a cracked finish.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the product, six spring-like colors will be released in March 2025. If you want to get the cherry blossom or matcha colors, we recommend getting them early.
