These are the latest images from the new UNDFTD shop in Shizuoka. As you can see the shop isn’t too big, but then again most upscale boutiques aren’t big in size. The UNDFTD Shizuoka shop is fitted with hardwood pannel walls for shoe displays. Also on display are sneakers encased in glass that are seen through the floor of the store. Also, check out the artwork on the walls by the T-Shirt section. It’s a very impressive space that all sneaker afficionados should pay a visit when they’re around the area.

Inspired by the very act of creating a Batik-Made fabric which has a strong symbolic meaning for the Javanese. It is said that each time the Batik craftsman executes a particular intricate pattern the design is not only fixed to the cloth, but the meaning of the design is engraved ever more deeply in the soul of the Artisan. This highly skilled process, involving complicated dyeing and dye-resist processes, is regarded highly by many Indonesians as one of the six Priyayi or “High Arts”.
