Hello.
I'm Noguchi from CASANOVA&CO.
LEVER's order exhibition is finally just tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Even if you know LEVER as a brand, many of you probably haven't seen the actual products, have you?
This is Mr. Hashimoto's first event in Okayama.
We are very happy to be able to host such an event at our store.
Some crowding is expected tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, depending on the time of day, so I'll list the regulations, or rather, precautions, regarding this order event in advance.
【ATTENTION】

・The "model shoes" and "lasts" displayed in the store are important for maintaining LEVER's quality. Please cooperate by not touching the upper leather and being careful not to damage the outsoles when viewing them. Please note that taking photos of the lasts is strictly prohibited.
・Orders placed will be delivered in approximately six months, but the delivery date may vary depending on the total number of orders. Please be aware of this in advance.
・A deposit will be required at the time of order. We would appreciate it if you could choose one of 50%, 30%, or 10% of the order amount.
・LEVER does not accept toe steel or half-rubber installations, so we will introduce you to a repair shop approved by Mr. Hashimoto. Please feel free to consult us.
That's how it is.
While there are many small details, we hope for everyone's cooperation.
Both Mr. Hashimoto and I will do our best to fit you, so please look forward to it.
Today, I took some photos so you can see Mr. Hashimoto's personal shoes, so please take a look.
LEVER
model _ APRIL (BK) (his own)
The finest box calf and the finest baby calf.
A meaningful, rational, and yet unique combination.
The baby calf on the shaft is quite good.
The curve of the waist, and the line that carves back from the heel to the ankle.
When you wear them and sit on a chair, the pant hems lift up smoothly, revealing the ankle line – it's just superb.
This might be the ultimate form of internal lacing boots.

model _ S MOLTON '99 (EGBK) (his own)
S MOLTON '99, incredibly well-worn.
The way the wrinkles are etched tells a story of an extremely tight fit.
The elasticity is so apparent, even in photos, that when I first wore them, my ankles couldn't bend properly, making me walk strangely up the stairs.
But once you break them in, they're yours.
The leather is taut, yet it flexes incredibly supplely.
The comfort is like paradise, making it impossible to go back to how things were before.
I really love LEVER shoes made of grain leather.
They are both elegant and rugged.
As I wore them, I felt a growing harmony, and in many ways, they truly became "mine."
I generally wear a lot of masculine clothes, so I think that's why I like this style.
LEVER
model _ NLL (EGBK) (his own)
Another one in grain leather.
NIL with external lacing.
There's no way this isn't cool.
The wrinkles that bulge as if to constrain the low instep, and the line that rises up while pressing the outer side of the foot.
LEVER's external lacing is stylish without being unrefined or overly sensual.
It may not be a prominent model within LEVER, but I think this is the kind of shoe you'd wear the most if you had it.
Mr. Hashimoto also brought his personal box calf shoes, so please see them at the store.
LEVER
model _ CUDDLE (BK) (his own)
Finally, the full-saddle CUDDLE.
Honestly, I thought LEVER loafers were still a bit too mature for me, but seeing Mr. Hashimoto's CUDDLE completely won me over.
The moment you put your foot into LEVER's fitting loafers, you'll feel "the last gripping your foot."
That's why, if you choose the right size, all you have to do is wear them and break them in.
These are loafers that I especially want those who haven't paid much attention to loafers to see and try on.
I think your current perception of loafers will be completely overturned.
Well, the setup is now complete.
I sincerely look forward to welcoming you to our store tomorrow and the day after, along with Mr. Hashimoto.
Actually, our 26SS clothing collection has also become quite extensive, so we hope you'll take a look at that as well.
Please enjoy LEVER.
