Dad, Two Sons, and a Whole New PARCO.

What the Katagiri family found interesting at the new Ikebukuro PARCO.

Hitoshi Katagiri is a plastic artist and actor. His eldest son, Taro, is devoted to the study of insects. The second son, Shunta, enjoys video games and cardboard crafts. The three, each with their own unique universe, came to the newly renovated Ikebukuro PARCO! They laugh at the same things, and their eyes light up at unexpected things. What on earth will this family's antennae react to!

SHOP 4: SALOMON
Shoes that everyone will want when they wear them.

Jin: This is good for Taro. Maybe when he goes bug hunting.

Taro: Looks good. It looks easy to use for everyday use.

Jin-san was interested in the SPEEDCROSS 3 ¥19,800.

What kind of shoes do you usually wear?

Taro: Boots most of the time. Sometimes sneakers.

Jin: For me, Salomon is all about skiing. I don't have an image of shoes at all.

Inside the store is a bench with a snowboard board embedded in it. As Jin says, the brand began with winter sports equipment such as skis and snowboards.

That's right. It's just. Salomon shoes are really popular these days. The Ikebukuro PARCO store just opened, and it seems like a lot of customers are coming in. Everyone is welcome to try on anything they like.

Jin tried on the XT-6 GORE-TEX ¥31,900.

Jin: Does it have a pocket for a string? That's nice. It looks really smart, doesn't it?

Do you wear sneakers a lot, too?

Jin: All I wear are sneakers. This is the first time I've worn "Salomon" sneakers, and I didn't realize how lightweight they are. They feel like they are gripping the ground.

Haruta tried on the XT-6 ¥28,600.

Haruta, how do you like them?

Shunta: Pretty good. Fits well. Also, much more barefoot.

Jin: You're not barefoot at all!

Shunta: There is no inconvenience as with bare feet.

Jin: I see.

Taro picked up the SPEEDCROSS 3 GORE-TEX ¥23,100.

Taro: This is also light.

Jin: Hey, that's great. Summer or something would be nice.

Shunta: My current shoes are dirty and I want to replace them.

Jin: That's right. Children wear the same shoes every day, so their shoes get ruined quickly.

Shunta: I want it.

Jin: If you wear them, you'll want them. You have to actually wear the shoes, don't you? You can't really tell from the Internet. Oh, Taro's shoes are interesting, they are iridescent.

Taro tried on the XT-WHISPER VOID ¥25,300.

Taro: Yes. It's interesting.

Jin: That's nice. You both look great in your outfits today. Your father is the most conservative of the three. Put one foot in front of the other.
