Haven’t bought sneakers in more than a decade&half. That said, ‘thought I’d impulse buy a pair from a “local” store that peeked my interest ... as a token/souvenir;)

#SpingleMove吉祥寺 SPM-443: Soft & supple ‘Roo leather in greige.  These shoes are mosdef made for walking.

Whoa whered you get these?!

I first spotted them many years ago on this very forum knucks (although they do appear in old sneaker editions of Boon) occasional poster Kemedia Club sometimes swings by with pearls of wisdom re- Levin Scheme, Deer Hunters ect and he had a pair.  I eventually tracked down the white and brown pairs when a Yahoo seller listed about 30 pairs of deadstock, i found the black pair some months later.

From what i can gather.. manufacture shifted from the US to Korea around 2000 and according to forum member Blackadder 'Buckwheat had been making pumps in the US since the 40's, bought out by a Japanese company sometime around 2002 when they were stocked by Beams for a short period' 

Ive never actually seen the versions which are made in Asia but i stopped hunting when i found all 3 colourways,
