＜Message from Designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu＞

It's been 20 years since the brand started, but in 1999, when we first debuted, the world was in chaos due to invisible fears and anxieties, such as the predictions of Nostradamus and the Year 2000 problem. It was a dark time, but I feel that today is somewhat similar. The coronavirus, natural disasters, conflicts, etc. were constant, and life was in poverty, and I felt that the world is somehow vicious. Q-pot. SHOES was born with the hope that everyone will be able to walk on a brighter and happier path while respecting all people who are living in such a turbulent nowadays. "Shoes" are like a vehicle that takes you to a wonderful place like a magic carpet, so I hope Q-pot. SHOES to be the kind of existence that taking you to the place you want to go and to the place full of happiness.

In addition, I was particular about the light and thick sole, and I designed it with the wish that I hope people can walk in life lightly and see the scenery that you can't usually see. I want the shoes to be positive shoes that are for walking towards the world.

By the way, the bottom of the sole is chocolate. After walking, the pieces of chocolate (=PEACE) spread out. I'm sure that the footprints left by someone will make someone smile again.

I believe that Q-pot. SHOES will expand the connection of smiles all over the world.
