About Yuketen
Every now and then, you get a mad scientist-type innovator who seems to bend all the rules. It turns out that Yuketen’s lead designer, Yuki Matsuda, falls into that category—and his work has totally paid off, since he’s now one of the most revered shoemakers out there. Using traditional shoe-making techniques and heritage styles as his foundation (think work boots and moccasins) he reimagines the whole shoe—adding here, taking away there, resulting in a modern hybrid of all the best-looking and comfiest parts.
