As we continued to wear "unda-unda" on a daily basis to make it as good a product as possible and observed changes over time and the feeling of use, the issues that came up were "weight," "weakness to water," and "inability to replace the worn top board. In response to these issues, we continued to change the material of the sole and tried new materials for the top panel through a process of trial and error.
Finally, this time, while maintaining the design, we have realized a new type of geta with "super lightweight," "washable," "excellent durability," and various other functionalities by using EVA material integrated molding technology.
By creating products that fuse "Japanese tradition and the latest technology," goyemon is developing products that fit into modern life and make tradition familiar. We would be happy if this product provides an opportunity for you to experience the culture of snow shoes.
We have incorporated the attractive functionality of snow clogs into a design that blends in with the modern city.
The new line of "unda-unda-unda" "unda EVA" has been powered up. We will introduce its amazing charm.
We were particular about faithfully reproducing the unevenness of the fabric used in the footbed portion unique to "unda-unda" and the air unit, which can be said to be the identity of the product.
6 Attractions of unda EVA
Feature ① Like a cloud. Soft and fluffy comfort.
Feature ② 50% weight reduction.
Feature ③ Washable, excellent durability.
Feature ④ Reconstructed and new shape.
Feature ⑤ Symmetrical.
Feature ⑥ Stylish way of wearing.
Feature 1: Like a cloud. Soft and fluffy comfort.
EVA is a material with "softness and elasticity" that is also used in PC cases for impact protection. By taking advantage of such features, we have raised the "cloud-like comfort" to a higher level, which is also the origin of the name "unda-Unda-".
We have raised "comfort of wearing like a cloud" to a higher level.
Feature 2: 50% weight reduction.
The first release weighed 330g, and the following year it was reduced to 270g. This time, the weight was further reduced to 131g, which is 60% lighter than the original release.
(*M size, measured on one foot.)
EVA is also a material with "lightness" that is used for beat boards, etc., so this is also a major feature that makes the shoes feel "comfortable like a cloud.
Feature (3): Washable throughout; excellent durability.
The biggest difference between "unda-unda" and "unda EVA" is water resistance. It can now be used in situations where the feet get wet. In addition, when soiled, it can be washed in its entirety. The softness and elasticity of the material dissipate the impact of walking, making it a durable model that can be worn for a longer period of time.
Feature 4: A new reconstructed form.
The "unda EVA" is realized by EVA one-piece molding technology while maintaining the same appearance.
The material has been meticulously modified to enhance the comfort of the footwear.
Rebuild the shape of the nose strap.
This was one of the most difficult points to achieve this time. Everyone has a different foot size, toe thickness, and instep height.
We asked many people to try on samples and made adjustments in increments of several millimeters to find the best solution.
If we tried to reproduce the original shape of the nose strap of the geta, it would cause pain in the fingers because the material is completely different.
The shape of the base, length and thickness of the tip of the cord were reviewed and reconstructed from scratch to match the one-piece EVA molding.
Reproduction of fabric irregularities
The texture of unda's unique coarsely woven cotton-rayon fabric is reproduced to the utmost limit.
Not only does it look good, but the moderate unevenness enhances grip and reduces steam.
In addition, the footbed is shaped to fit the shape of the foot, drawing an arc as if to wrap around the foot.
Identity air is inherited as a design
The EVA material used in this project is difficult to incorporate the air unit, which is the identity of "unda," so the design of the air unit was incorporated as a design.
In addition to the design, the depth was increased to the maximum value that could be manufactured with a mold, taking into consideration the practicality of cushioning.
Feature 5: Symmetrical.
There is no distinction between left and right footwear in snow clogs, so they can be worn on either the right or left foot.
People have their own foot habits, which often result in uneven wear on the outside and inside of the sole, but by regularly replacing the left and right soles, the wear can be equalized and the life of the sole can be extended.
Yukitate is a uniquely Japanese product born from Japan's "mottainai (wasteful) culture.
In order to continue this intention, "unda EVA" adopts a symmetrical design that allows the left and right soles to be replaced periodically, just like "unda-unda".
Feature 6: Stylish way of wearing.
The stylish and cool way to wear snow geta is to wear them with the little finger and heel out.
For this reason, we recommend a smaller size.
Unlike sandals, the nose strap is attached in the middle, so the little finger inevitably sticks out of the geta.
In recent years, we have seen snow geta with the nosepiece not attached in the middle, but with this product, you can experience the traditional way of wearing them.
Ideally, the nose should not be attached between the thumb and index finger, leaving a small space between them.
This is chic, and at the same time, it reduces pressure from the noseband and prevents the noseband from slipping off.
Size development
Model：Women 163cm / 24.0cm / S size
Model：Women 168cm / 25.0cm / M size
Model：Men 178cm / 27.0cm / M size
Model：Men 183cm / 28.5cm / L size
The packaging has also been further renewed. While keeping the traditional sneaker box-like design, the two holes on the side are based on the air unit, one of the features of "Unda-unda-".
Color variation
unda EVA / Black
Although the color is basic, each part, such as the nose strap and the top panel, has subtle unevenness, resulting in a black color that gives a mysterious sense of depth, even though it is the same color.
unda EVA / Taupe
Because these shoes are worn barefoot more often than other footwear, we repeated sample production many times in pursuit of a blend of gray and beige that blends well with the skin and makes the wearer's blood color look better. We would like to propose these colors as a new standard for people who normally choose black.
