Geta get bang up to date with this stylish reworking of the traditional Japanese clog. It’s the work of Mamechiyo Modern, a small brand that specializes in putting a 21st-century sheen on traditional clothing. The edgy blue grid design and striped strap combine to make a bold style statement, but the modern makeover isn’t just cosmetic: these geta have vinyl soles, meaning that they can be worn come rain or shine, and the wider bases provide added support for novice wearers. Geta pair before they sell out.
¥12,600. Available from branches of Mamechiyo Modern (4F Marui One, 3-1-20 Shinjuku; 3-32-2 Nishi-Ogikubo, Suginami-ku). www.mamechiyo.jp
