ROCKPORT (Rockport https://shop.rockport.jp/ Shoe General Distributor: Marubeni Footwear Co., Ltd.), an American leather shoe brand that is used in more than 70 countries around the world, was a big hit with the American casual fashion boom of the early 2000s and became the forerunner of leather sneakers that could be used both on and off, and the masterpiece “OPEN ROAD A reprint model that faithfully reproduces “TACONIC” will be on sale for both men and women from Friday, March 24, 2023.

“OPEN ROAD TACONIC” debuted at Japan in 2001. With a high-quality leather upper, impressive stitching design, and outstanding walking comfort realized by the technology cultivated through many years of making walking shoes, it is a masterpiece that became a record hit in the American casual trend of the time. However, production was discontinued after only four years. Since then, we have received requests from many fans for resale.

The new product to be sold this time faithfully reproduces the model of that time. It is a reprint model that approaches the same specifications as at that time, including the texture and comfort of leather, design, and manufacturing method. The sophisticated upper that can be used both on and off and the comfortable comfort of a walking shoe are timeless designs that fit even after nearly 20 years. In addition to the original color range with burnish (charred design), which was the best-selling model at the time, white leather and grace suede models arranged to match modern street fashion will also be released. It is a product lineup that can be appealed not only to those who miss the first model, but also to the younger generation who do not know the model at that time.

【Commitment to design】 Both on and off. Style-up design and comfortable wearing

・ Highly comfortable last (wooden mold) that fits the feet of Japan people

・ Stitching pattern for a visually stylish impression

The “OPEN ROAD TACONIC” features the last of the casual categories in Rockport with a particularly comfortable and spacious design.
In general, it is said that the feet are wider than Westerners Japan but it is a specification that feels “easy to wear”.

The stitching design, which draws a characteristic curve from the instep to the toe, has a visual effect that makes the toes look tapered. Even if it is loose and comfortable, it gives a sharp impression and is designed to style your feet.

 

【Commitment to quality】 Reproduction by fusion of craftsmanship and science and technology. Quality called “masterpiece”

・ “You want to take care of it” Leather upper with moderate hardness and suppleness

・ Hand-sewn finish to improve heel stability

・ A manufacturing method used in running shoes to increase the flexibility of the forefoot

• Fiberglass shank to reduce sole twisting

In order to faithfully reproduce the leather upper used in the first model of the 2000s, we carefully selected leather from tanners (leather manufacturers) that were closer to the quality of the time. We use leather that combines moderate hardness, “strain”, and flexibility. By taking care of it, you can enjoy the change in the texture of the leather, and the quality of the shoes themselves is finished so that they can be used for a longer time.
Like the first generation, the reprint model to be released this time uses a method called “San Crispino” in which the upper leather around the heel and the bottom material of the shoe are sewn by craftsmen one by one to improve the stability of the heel when walking. In addition, the forefoot uses the “Strobel” manufacturing method, in which the upper and bottom material are sewn in a bag shape. This is a manufacturing method used in running shoes, etc., and achieves a smoother walking movement by increasing the flexibility of the sole of the foot. The lightweight fiberglass shank built into the midsole reduces twisting and distortion of the shoe during walking motion, supporting a more correct posture.

【Commitment to color】 First model color and latest trend color

・ The hit antique-like “burnish” color

・ Colors that match street fashion and are conscious of modern trends

Black, brown, and brandy, which were also sold as the original model colors, were burnished with a slight charred toe to give them a more luxurious antique look. In addition, white leather and grace suede in line with modern fashion trends are introduced for the first time. Even younger users who have not been exposed to models from the 2000s are designed to be easy to style as street fashion items.

What is the leather shoe brand “ROCKPORT”?

―Boston-born shoe manufacturer ROCKPORT began in 1971 when founder Bruce Katz developed and sold a comfortable and revolutionary shoe with a leather shoe upper sewn into the outsole of a sneaker, with the goal of “making the world’s most comfortable leather shoes.” Since its founding, under the brand philosophy of “providing comfortable comfort and style without compromise”, in 1983 it became the first shoe manufacturer to be certified by the American Association of Podiatrists (APMA), and later launched the world’s first walking shoes, the “ProWalker®” collection.
―Business shoes that can run 42.195km―
The then vice president wore the brand’s iconic DresSports® business shoe and completed the New York Marathon. Even today, we continue to create innovative shoes in various categories, such as developing pumps with high functionality and sophisticated designs, and are sold in more than 70 countries around the world.
―2021: 50th anniversary of brand birth and 2022 35th anniversary of brand Japan
“ROCKPORT” is a leather shoe brand that always incorporates the latest technology and design and has many fans all over the world. In 2021, the brand celebrated its 50th anniversary.
From the 2022 fall/winter season, under the brand message “LIFE IN MOTION “One step ahead, to more wonderful moments,” we will continue to provide comfortable wearing comfort and style that does not compromise.

“Dyson” has released the “Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer” (39,900 yen including tax) and “Dyson Airwrap Multistyler” (44,000 yen * both according to the editorial department) of “Sakura Rosé” in the Japan limited color. In addition to Dyson’s directly managed stores and official online store, it is available at department stores, affiliated hair salons, and electronics retailers.

Sakura rosé is inspired by cherry blossoms, which have been familiar with Japan culture since ancient times and are loved by many Japan as a symbol of a new life. It was developed as a Japan limited edition model with the hope that women of Japan will start a new life with shiny hair and discover a new self. Dyson’s “CMF (Colours Color, Materials Material, Finishes Finish)” team of engineers has created a rosé color that expresses the color of the petals, and the topaz orange accent is inspired by the color of the sepals of the petals. The gold button is said to be inspired by the reflection of water droplets reflected in the petals of cherry blossoms.

The Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler is a Japan-market-only kit that is easy to store and has minimal attachments based on Japan residential environment and consumer research. Equipped with three attachments: 30mm Airwrap Long Curler, Smoothing Brush (Soft) and Smoothing Brush, it uses powerful and precise airflow to prevent excessive heat damage while styling wet hair, achieving airy curl, blowing, drying, and hair suppression in one unit.

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer uses intelligent heat control to measure the temperature of the air 20 times per second to prevent excessive heat damage and protect the natural shine of hair. The powerful and compact Dyson Digital Motor V9 dries hair quickly by delivering powerful air at a controlled temperature. Incorporating separately sold attachments such as “Floating Hair Prevention Tool” and “Gentle Air Ring” expands the range of scalp care and hair arrangements.

To commemorate the release of this Sakura Rosé Color, limited-time events will be held at various locations. The grand staircase of Omotesando Hills will decorate the venue with the image of cherry blossoms, and in addition to displaying Dyson hair care products, there will be a hair styling experience and hairstyle diagnosis by appointment, a styling demonstration using Dyson hair care products, a lottery to win Dyson hair care products, and gifts to commemorate your visit. In addition, it will be held at Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Umeda and Dyson Ginza Mitsukoshi to provide styling experiences.

Dyson Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo: Peter Smith, President & CEO, hereinafter referred to as “Dyson”) has introduced a limited edition Dyson Supersonic Shine hair dryer Japan. The new model has three attachments, including a newly developed “gloss tool”. Professional stylists use a brush and dryer to achieve the ideal “glossy hair” for many people, but it is a difficult technique to practice on their own at home. What is important for shiny hair is the cohesion of the hair with less floating hair and waviness. Dyson Supersonic Shine reduces heat damage* and protects hair luster. In addition, the new “Gloss Tool” has two modes in one attachment, controlling the speed and direction of the wind to quickly achieve shiny and smooth hair. Dyson Supersonic Shine will be available at Dyson stores, Dyson online stores, department stores, affiliated hair salons, and electronics retailers. The official release is scheduled for May.

* Damage caused by excessive heat

John McGarva, Head of Design Engineering, Dyson Hair Care, said:

“Our mission is to develop products that cater to all hair types and reduce excessive thermal damage while enabling a wide variety of styles. The new “Gloss Tool” is designed to achieve a quick and smooth style with a single attachment, from wet to dry. You can also use the Coanda effect to reduce floating hair and replicate at home the techniques used by professionals in salons.”

Airflow control

The Gloss Tool is the first brush attachment developed for the Dyson Supersonic range. Inspired by the Dyson Airwrap™ Multistyler’s Smoothing Brush, one of the attachments. Powered by Dyson’s V9 digital motor, high-pressure airflow creates precisely angled airflow for shiny, smooth hair. After straightening the hair with the “smooth brush mode”, switch to the “floating hair suppression mode” that uses an airflow phenomenon called the Coanda effect. The Coanda effect is a phenomenon in which airflow adheres to a surface due to the pressure difference that occurs when a high-speed jet stream flows over a surface. This airflow pulls your long hair toward you, hiding the floating hairs inside the hair and making it cohesive.

■ The smooth brush mode uses the Coanda effect to draw hair to the brush surface, while suppressing waviness and smoothing it.

■ Floating hair inhibition mode pulls long hair towards you with the force of the wind, hides the floating hair inside the hair, and makes the hair cohesive.

Gentle and quick-drying hair dryer
The Dyson Supersonic Shine hair dryer measures the air temperature 20 times per second and controls the set temperature so that the temperature does not continue to rise during use. In addition, wearing the included low-temperature tool reduces the air temperature by up to 20 degrees* and dries your hair with a gentle breeze. It protects against hair damage such as dullness and brittleness of hair that can occur due to high temperatures and hair color fading. It also prevents hair drying out and protects the moisture content of the hair.
* Set the air volume and air temperature of this product to the maximum, and compare with and without the low-temperature tool attached. The effect may differ depending on the situation of the place of use and how it is used.

Settings and attachments

The Dyson Supersonic Shine hair dryer has 4 wind temperature settings including cold shot, 3 wind speed settings. The precision-engineered magnetic attachment has been carefully selected into three categories to suit Japan customers, and the names have been changed to make the function of each easier to understand.

■ Gloss tool

Two different “smooth brush modes” and “floating hair suppression modes” lead to smooth and shiny hair with few floating hairs and waviness.

■Low Temperature Tools

Quickly dries fine hair and delicate scalp with a gentle breeze at low temperatures.

■ Smooth tool

Dry with a smooth breeze and give it a silky texture. It is also ideal for pinpoint styling.

■ Product information will be updated on the official Dyson website.
