I've heard that all MiJ canvas sneakers come from the same factory. Do you know if there is any creedence to this claim? Not that it would mean they're all the same.

I think Shoes like Pottery are different: they are made using an ancient kiln (the thing you used in grade school to make a mug) technique.

The kiln process isn't used to make the traditional canvas shoes made by the parent company of SLP, Moonstar. At least nothing I found indicated that they do.

I remember reading that Moonstar is contracted to make shoes for Buzz rickson and others during seasons they elect to make canvas shoes.

The Asahi deck shoes are great, wish they did more colours.

Doek also worth a look, nice cork insole.

I like the description, "Has stains. Take them or leave it. Leave it out in the sun or just wear it."

By the way these are water stains. A good wipe down with a wet rag, followed by a mild conditionning (a lot of people use Pecards or Bick 4. I use Canadian Bee Seal) and you'll never notice them again.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't his list over a year out now? He's doing fantastic work though especially for what he's charging.
