What to know about Hender Scheme

Sneaker shapes rebuilt by hand

The Manual Industrial Products line reconstructs recognizable sneaker silhouettes in the atelier, using untreated vegetable-tanned leather that darkens and patinas as you wear it.

Trained under Tokyo leather craftsmen

Founder Ryo Kashiwazaki left philosophy studies to apprentice with local shokunin, and the brand still produces in its own atelier as an independent, genderless design practice.

Range extends past the footwear

Bags, accessories, apparel and homeware sit alongside the shoes, plus collaborations with adidas Originals from 2024, Timberland and G-SHOCK.
