Yuketen Blucher - Dark Brown with Cortina Sole

Founded by Yuki Matsuda, Yuketen represents the pinnacle of American handcraft, with just five master craftspeople creating each pair in their Maine workshop. This Blucher exemplifies true artisanal shoemaking, where even the needle holes are hand-punched - a practice rarely seen in modern footwear. The distinctive Cortina sole, inspired by the 1956 Winter Olympics, utilizes original 1950s US military-grade rubber specifications, creating an unparalleled fusion of heritage and comfort.
