Respect for British Racing
Grand Prix Heitop design recalls a racing style of a fierce and ugly Formula Genesis. We researched iconic racing shoes that existed only in a slight time from the 1950s to 60's, and revived with modern interpretation. This shoe drawn up with strong influences in the history of the UK Goodwood is the crystal of respect for the british racing.
A trip to inspiration of the story

The Internet is, of course, that research is sometimes the venue in the city of the city, and in the case of the old photographic cases in the old magazine's back number in the old picture case where genres and times are not divided. Many of those information are taken before the race of races, and the photos of the "inter-arm" are mostly accounted for. In addition to the laceer's face, it was not only the laceer's face, but also a glimpse of the attractive expression as a gentleman.
