Anatomica by ALDEN Talk Event
Welcoming Takashi Niida, Winner of the World Championships of Shoe Shining 2025 -
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of The ARKEOS.
This October, The ARKEOS Club GINZA will host a special talk event featuring Takashi Niida of Brift H (@niitaman_brift_h), winner of the World Championships of Shoe Shining 2025. Together with our store manager, Takakuwa, Mr. Niida will explore the world of ALDEN and the artistry of shoe shining.
The talk will reveal behind-the-scenes stories from the London competition, personal insights into Mr. Niida’s journey to victory, and a deeper look into the enduring charm of ALDEN shoes.
Following the talk, guests will enjoy a live shoe shining demonstration by Mr. Niida and take part in a hands-on workshop. In addition, ALDEN purchasers will have the opportunity to request a special pre-maintenance service by Mr. Niida (paid option).
A lineup of Anatomica by ALDEN Plain Toe models will also be available on the day, showcasing the essence of his renowned polishing technique.
To mark the occasion, a new ALDEN arrival will debut in-store: the much-anticipated 45661H Hand-Sewn Moc Toe Boots in Cordovan Burgundy, previously introduced on Instagram.
