Hender Scheme is a Japanese footwear and accessories label based in Tokyo, Japan, founded by designer Ryo Kashiwazaki in 2010. Everything started when Ryo, nephew of a dressmaker and son of an employee of Isetan, one of the most important department stores in Tokyo, found a part-time job in a small shoes factory. This occupation became a real passion, a passion that Ryo transformed into a an independent firm: Hender Scheme. The brand is notable for reproducing popular sneaker models, such as Nike’s Air Force 1, Air Jordan IV and Adidas Superstar , completely by hand in premium leather as part of its Manual Industrial Products (MIP) line. Aside from sneakers, Hender Scheme also produces an array of high-quality handcrafted leather accessories such as belts, bucket hats, laptop sleeves, notebooks, and keychains.

Adidas, instead of suing Hender Scheme for infringement of patent rights, has decided to collaborate with Kashiwazaki and to create a capsule collection constructed with the handcraft process of Ryo, made with vegetable tanned leather in its natural color. The package includes a Superstar, a Micropacer and a NMD R1. Unfortunately prices of these limited editions are quite high, being above 900 euro.
