02: adidas Originals BOWLING Collection
A hybrid of sneakers and dress shoes.
Fuinam: Next up is *Adidas Originals*. This is quite a curveball.
Okajima: This is the "Bowling Collection," which was originally exclusive to China. Thanks to negotiations by "Atmos," we were able to launch it in Japan as well.
Adidas Originals: Top "ANFU BOWLING" ¥30,800; Middle "BOWLING" ¥30,800; Bottom "PREDATOR BOWLING" ¥34,100
Fuinam: Both the upper and the sole look like leather shoes.
Okajima: It’s a hybrid model that combines sneakers and dress shoes. The upper is based on an existing model exclusive to China, and we’ve paired it with this sole.
Fuinam: The texture is really nice, too.
Okajima: The leather is of very high quality. The design incorporates elements of the terrace style while also evoking a subtle Chinese influence.
Fuinam: So-called "sneaker loafers" have been popular lately, and this style looks set to follow suit.
Okajima: Exactly. Since more and more people are choosing sneakers based on how they look in an outfit rather than just the shoes themselves, I think models like this tend to be a good fit.
