About the firing process:
"The shoes are fired in a 120 °C (248 °F) kiln for 70 minutes, similar to the way Japanese pottery is fired. The extreme heat and pressure causes the sulfur mixed inside the raw rubber to chemically react, returning the rubber to its original shape. Our unique ka-ryu process enables us to hand-craft small batches of some of the world’s finest vulcanized shoes."
The trainers are then branded with a rubber stamp portraying 'Uchide no kozuchi', a legendary Japanese mallet that when swung is meant to grant its holder's wishes.
