Moonstar is a heritage footwear brand based in Kurume, a city in Fukuoka prefecture known for its proud manufacturing history and unique shoemaking techniques. Since its founding in 1873, the company has been producing comfortable, made-in-Japan footwear – from classic tabi-style shoes to contemporary sneakers.
At this Jiyugaoka flagship store, you can browse the brand’s shoe selection including the popular ‘Fine Vulcanized’ collection, which features flexible, durable soles that maintain their shape over time. These timeless sneakers are available in various styles, from slip-ons and mules to low-cut lace-ups and high-top all-weather options. The latter designs are especially practical, featuring rubber sides bonded seamlessly to canvas uppers, making them ideal for yearround wear – rain or shine.
