Men's Adhesive Textile Sneakers from Japan

Casual men's sneakers featuring a textile upper made from nylon mesh and an outer sole of rubber affixed exclusively with adhesive, no foxing or overlapping sole except at toe. Valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, these fall under HTS 6404.19.69.30 due to the specific construction method and price range for men's footwear. The upper's predominant textile material and adhesive-only attachment distinguish it from cemented or molded constructions.
