Yuketen

Yuki Matsuda is a name to file along with the true modern innovative craftsman, a visionary in reincarnating traditional classics whose origins are from the U.S.A. Inspired by original American traditions, Yuketen stands for an attention to detail, a passion and longevity in footwear that can’t be rivalled. It’s rugged and outdoor heritage is evident in every carefully constructed shoe, handmade to standards that only true Artisans are renowned for. In any pair of Yuketen, the thought process, the dedication and the skill is evident, rendering style an irrelevance to such beautifully created pieces. Since 1985, designer Yuki Matsuda has paid homage to the American heritage by compiling outstanding examples of footwear and luggage in remote locales spread out across the rolling Appalachians to the high Sierras. Yuketen was born out of such enlightening expeditions and stands alone as one of the finest producers of footwear throughout history and he modern day.
