Hankyu Umeda Main Store's 4th floor Shoes Gallery hosts the "2026AW SNEAKER FAIR" from Wednesday, September 23 (a national holiday) to Tuesday, October 20, 2026. As a cool autumn breeze makes you want to head outside, the fair proposes a special pair for every day, on duty or off. From new releases by mainstay brands to limited-time pop-ups and customization experiences that make a pair truly your own, it's a lineup of sneakers to color autumn fashion from the ground up.
Loafer Sneakers and Mule Sneakers: Comfort Meets Elegance
Ash
From left: Shoes (5cm heel) ¥44,000, (4.5cm heel) ¥41,800
A hybrid loafer sneaker that blends traditional elegance with a sporty silhouette. It mixes the smart look of a dress shoe with a sole structure built for the easy walkability of a chunky-soled sneaker, giving it standout character from the ground up. Also worth a look is a high-tech, platform loafer sneaker that pairs the elegant saddle design of a classic coin loafer upper with Ash's signature voluminous chunky sole.
Cole Haan
From left: Shoes (4cm heel) ¥28,600, (4cm heel) ¥36,300
A sporty, refined loafer with sneaker-like comfort, and a grown-up sneaker that combines an elegant platform design with an easy-to-slip-on Mary Jane style. Both are designed to keep your steps light, from the office to casual outings.
Sneaker Edit
"United Nude" Shoes (6cm heel) ¥49,500 each
The new 2026AW "Stomper Loafer" pairs a traditional-style upper (the part covering the top of the foot) with a boldly cut sole, for a pair that's unmistakably United Nude. It matches a wide range of styles, from casual to polished.
"Roger Vivier" Shoes (1cm heel) ¥174,900
The suede "Viv Low Lace-Up Mule" stands out with its mini strass buckle and monogram embroidery on the side. It pairs a rubber outsole inspired by the iconic "Viv Run" sole, keeping its elegant style while offering a light, comfortable fit.
