Overview

The brand focuses on shoes that pair sneaker soles with leather-shoe uppers, and offers styles for men and women. The name derives from the Japanese words for “learning” and “imitating,” and the designs incorporate traditional shoe details. The official website describes the brand as evoking adults who do not draw a line between play and work and are eager to enjoy themselves.
