Enterprise Japan Kids canvas Trainers 61 02

The ENTJPN 61 is born within THE ARCHIVE SERIES, the project of Enterprise Japan dedicated to the contemporary reinterpretation of archive shoes. An exercise in research where proportions, materials, and visual codes are reinterpreted through the brand's DNA.

Inspired by 60s racing shoes, the silhouette is sleek and lightweight, featuring essential volumes that evoke the aesthetics of classic sportswear. The clean and functional design expresses a sporty attitude, built to last over time and facilitate daily movement.

The beige upper made of suede and raffia highlights the minimalist construction and emphasizes the dynamic lines of the profile, while the EJ rocket logo lightens up and transforms into an essential sign, almost a Japanese kanji: a graphic line that unites movement, identity, and culture into a single form. The small red heel and the tongue label with the heritage tag recall the imagery of university competitions from the 60s.

The thin sole, characterized by a deliberately worn effect, introduces time as a design value: an aesthetic sign that gives identity and authenticity to the sneaker.

ENTJPN 61 pays tribute to the spirit of the 1961 Osaka Universiade, a symbol of discipline, youthful energy, and training culture. An essential model that transforms sports heritage into a contemporary, clean, and timeless form.
