The ENTJPN 61 is born within THE ARCHIVE SERIES, the project of Enterprise Japan dedicated to the contemporary reinterpretation of archive shoes. It is a research exercise where proportions, materials, and visual codes are reinterpreted through the brand's DNA.
Inspired by the racing shoes of the 60s, the silhouette is sleek and lightweight, with essential volumes that recall the aesthetic of classic sportswear. The clean and functional design expresses an authentic attitude, made to withstand the test of time and accompany daily movement.
The upper, made of smooth leather and suede in a refined palette of brown, highlights the essential lines of the silhouette and accentuates its contemporary character. The EJ Rocket logo, printed in contrast on the side, lightens to transform into an essential graphic sign, almost like a Japanese kanji: an element that unites movement, identity, and culture in a single form. The dual lace system, in brown and yellow, adds a distinctive detail that allows for personalisation of the sneaker's look, while the tongue with heritage label recalls the imagery of university competitions from the sixties.
The thin sole, characterised by a deliberately worn effect, introduces time as a design value: a detail that gives the sneaker authenticity and character.
