Seiji McCarthy — Made to Be Worn

Seiji McCarthy spent roughly 150 hours making your shoes. Please wear them.

This week on Blamo!, I’m in Tokyo at Seiji’s atelier talking about his path from working for the NBA to making bespoke footwear—and why it took moving to Japan to appreciate the American style he grew up with.

We get into making things by hand, being precious with the stuff we love, and what happens when you reach your dream job and realize you want something else.

Plus, jazz, the Beatles, and a stereo that made his favorite records feel new again.
