Kyusha Shoes

You’re in the wrong place. Go here.

Most of you who are regular visitors come specifically for the wheels. Google analytics actually blew me away when I looked last month and discovered this site is getting more views than every before, most of you straight to the Kyusha Shoes page. The wheel database is growing. If you can read Japanese, you understand I’m past 300 now. Someday […]

Someone recently emailed me about these shoes found on yahoo auction: definitely the unicorn of kyusha wheels. No idea what he paid, but I know what he could sell them for and who might buy them.
