For Spring/Summer 2026, HHV and REGAL Shoe & Co. have teamed up to create an exclusive version of the U-Tip.

The result is a classic Derby that combines Japanese craftsmanship, a weather-resistant Gore-Tex membrane and a look that works effortlessly across smart casual, workwear and timeless everyday styling.

HHV has been working with Japanese brands and products for many years, driven by a deep appreciation for their exceptional quality, carefully selected materials and the craftsmanship behind them.

This same mindset also defines the REGAL Shoe & Co. x HHV U-Tip GTX.

The shoe reinterprets the classic U-Tip Derby as a modern, weather-resistant silhouette with Japanese finesse.

The sand-colored Sanyo cowhide suede feels both relaxed and refined, while the distinctive U-shaped seam and clean lines evoke American saddle shoes and highlight the DNA of REGAL Shoe & Co.

The open 5-eyelet lacing and color-matched laces underline the shoe’s clean look, making it an easy fit for urban smart-casual outfits. Inside, a Gore-Tex membrane keeps the REGAL Shoe & Co. x HHV U-Tip GTX waterproof and breathable.

Even in rain or on wet streets, feet stay comfortably dry while the soft leather retains its natural comfort.

Additional comfort comes from a soft lining and an Ortholite layer under the insole, cushioning every step and making the shoe easy to wear even on long days.

A Vibram Newflex outsole with a distinctive tread provides reliable grip and a lightweight feel.

The Goodyear welt construction creates a durable bond between the upper and sole, allowing for future resoling and significantly extending the shoe’s lifespan.

The REGAL Shoe & Co. x HHV U-Tip GTX is made in Japan, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The result is a timeless all-rounder for changeable weather, long days and urban outfits.

The REGAL Shoe & Co. x HHV U-Tip GTX launches on May 22nd at HHV.
