about the slippers: Despite its Japanese name, the Kawasaki are of Danish origin. They were born in 1972 on the badminton courts and became the best-selling shoe in the history of Denmark thanks to its quality and design. Today, more than three decades later, I'm all a classic of Scandinavian street culture. Originally conceived as technical badminton shoes, Kawasakis were designed to be light, comfortable and very resistant. Esto, added to its design simple and clean lines,has elevated these sneakers to cult status in today's streetwear.
A shoe with a suede side reinforcement and a sole that does not slip but adheres to the ground. The discovery of this shoe started a development that years later was the beginning of an adventure that prospered with the development of Kawasaki in the old Bata factory in Gotwalddorf., Czechoslovakia. Currently the same old methods of production are still preserved, such as hot vulcanization, that only admits the use of natural materials such as rubber, cotton or suede and avoids the use of glues and glues in the process.
