Huynem: The all-black leather upper reminds me of the "Total Max SC".
Kojima: In this work, we added reflective material to it and arranged it with yellow coloring.
Huynh Nam: The "95" is also famous as the model that became popular from Japan.
Kojima:To be precise, "Harajuku" was the center of it all: In the late 1990s, the neon-colored "95," which was not so well received overseas, became a big hit in Japan. Stores in Harajuku had long lines of customers, and there was such a frenzy that people were buying up inventory from all over the world.
Huynh Nam: Indeed. I remember Harajuku at that time.
Kojima: Look at the heel liner. It has "HRJK" embroidered on it.
Huynam: Really. You mean "HRJK = HARAJUKU"?
Kojima: Yes. It is a casual device, but one that makes those who know it grin. It is not a mere reissue, but a pair that reconstructs the culture of the time with today's sensibilities.
