History
Rolling Dub Trio began operations in 2003 in Asakusa, Tokyo. The company operates from a district known for artisan boot making. Katsuya Tokunaga founded the brand during a period when Japanese interest in American-style work boots increased.
Manufacturing
Rolling Dub Trio manufactures all boots at The Boots Factory in Tokyo. A team of artisans works on each step of production, including leather selection and assembly. The brand uses small-lot production methods for most designs.
Construction and materials
Rolling Dub Trio employs construction methods such as Goodyear welt and stitch-down techniques. The company sources leathers from the United States, Italy, and Japan. Italian horsebutt leather and Horween Chromexcel leather from Chicago are used for select models. Hand finishing takes place at the Tokyo facility.
Products
Rolling Dub Trio produces several boot styles, including cap-toe boots, side-zip boots, and square-toe designs. The ROOTS 6" Toe Cap and Griffin Boot models use horsebutt leather. The Coupen Mid-Cut Boot and Stan Boot use both horsebutt and Horween Chromexcel leather. The Casper Boot features a side-zip design in Chromexcel leather. The Loro Boot uses black horsebutt leather and a square toe design.
