Hender Scheme

Ryo Kashiwazaki founded Hender Scheme in 2010. The brand began by creating handmade versions of classic sneaker silhouettes using Japanese craftsmen in Tokyo.

Hender Scheme produces its footwear and leather goods in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. Artisans working from local workshops handcraft each product.

Hender Scheme uses vegetable-tanned leather for its footwear and leather items. This material changes in tone and texture over time.

The Manual Industrial Products (MIP) line features hand-built versions of well-known sneakers, recreated with leather. Notable shoes in this line include models inspired by the Air Jordan IV, Nike Air Force 1, Vans Half Cab, and Clarks Wallabee.

Hender Scheme also produces small leather goods such as wallets, bags, and accessories. Each item is made by hand in Tokyo.

Homeware products from the brand include leather trays, desk organizers, and storage baskets. These pieces use the same vegetable-tanned leather found in other Hender Scheme goods.

The brand introduced the House Made Line during its Winter/Spring 2025 collection. This line features goods produced entirely through in-house processes in Tokyo.

Hender Scheme has participated in collaborations with companies such as Adidas Originals. Collaborative products include the MicroPacer, NMD, and Superstar sneakers crafted with leather.

Other leather items produced by Hender Scheme include a setta-style slipper, an uchiwa fan, a bike lock chain, and a tissue box cover. Each piece is produced using handcraft methods in Tokyo.
