The “JAPAN S”, an updated version of the much-loved 1981 “FABRE JAPAN S” basketball shoe, has been adapted for skateboarding. The insole is designed with varying hardness between the inside and outside, providing punching holes to promote the inner center of gravity for increased stability on the board. Durability is increased by the use of suede material with three stitching on the toe and heel parts; an elastic band helps prevent misalignment of the shoe tongue, while a thicker tongue ensures comfort. Its classic silhouette is enhanced by the use of suede material, and a reflective material on the heel adds a unique touch.
