Arch Support Project

Arch Support Project, or ASP, launched in 2024 to make handcrafted footwear. The shoes come from a workshop in South China, created and led by master shoemaker Rock Yeh, and the aim is to reverse the industrialisation of manufacturing.

Each upper is hand-lasted and whole-cut, formed from one piece of leather, then hand-adjusted for a month while the leather conforms. The welting is hand-chainstitched and the detailing is hand-stitched.

Everything is designed around a signature leather arch support, which runs from the upper into the insole, midsole and sole, so the shoe comes together as one complete unit. You can find it at Division Road and Standard & Strange.
