    We apologize for the long hiatus between the last video. Mark got a very serious case of Covid and was out of commission for two weeks. We hope you enjoy this latest interview and thank you for watching!

    A great discussion. It was great to hear his story. The part about him replacing the soles of boxing shoes with regular sneaker soles gives the impression that his is the case of innate talent combined with proper education/development. Another great interview Mark! Great stuff.

    I'm curious to know what those early Yohei Fukuda shoes cost. I think there are many fine bespoke makers, but his are to me always the most beautiful.

    Mark, sorry to hear you were ill. Great interview! I hope to get back to Japan in 2023 and would love to have a pair of bespoke shoes. That's going on my bucket list to find a place in Japan that offers it.
