Founded in 2002 by the Japanese company WA Inc., the brand emerged to address the limited size ranges available in domestic retail. It gained cultural significance by offering a standardized repair service and a wide spectrum of sizes, which was uncommon in Japan's mass-market footwear sector. Historically, it contributed to the democratization of footwear by making diverse styles available to a broader demographic of professional and student consumers across Asia.
