A shoe made from Washi? Sounds a bit like origami.
And yet, for the past 10 years, Tanuki has been one of Wildling’s most beloved minimal shoes.
Tanuki has always been different. Light. Airy. Flexible. Close to the ground.
It wasn’t made to follow trends. It was made to help people reconnect with the way they move.
While other shoes became more, Tanuki stayed true to less.
Less weight. Less in between. Less fuss.
More movement. More freedom. More feeling.
For some, it felt unusual at first. For many, it became: “Ah. This is exactly it.”
That’s why 10 years of Tanuki also means 10 years of trust.
Thank you to everyone who has carried Tanuki forward with us.
And for its anniversary, the Tanuki story is getting a new chapter:
make art move.
A special edition where our iconic minimal shoe meets an iconic artist.
Premiere: Coming soon to the Wildling Shop.
