How is this "All Star" from Converse different from the standard?
At first glance, it may be difficult to spot the difference, but the most important point is that it is such a casual design despite being a special order, which is understood by those who understand. The red and blue lines that characterize the "All Star" have been replaced between the original and the special order. And since a highly cushioned sole called the React sole is used, they are very comfortable to wear. Another hidden feature of this model is that it commemorates the 40th anniversary of the establishment of BEAMS, and the insole is in the "BEAMS color" of orange. The "All Star" is a timeless classic, but even if you already own a pair, you will enjoy the little differences.
What should I match it with to make it look like this year?
. The trend is for big silhouettes, after all. I chose a shirt with a large fit and shorts with a large silhouette. Also, I think it's easier to put together a casual outfit with a little bit of a more elegant element to make it look more current. I chose shorts made of a fabric that is also used for slacks, which makes them look more beautiful. Even a casual item can look different if you choose something made of a beautiful material.
Are there any events you are looking forward to this summer?
Actually, we are going to have a baby. I am so excited about it.... It's my first child, and it's a boy, but I find time to check out kids' wear. What I'm looking for at BEAMS is a pair of "New Balance" sneakers. They are not a model that can be worn right after birth, so it will be a while before he can wear them (laughs). . Even on my days off, my mind is occupied with my child, and yesterday I just bought a baby stroller.
What is the charm of BEAMS LUMINE Tachikawa that you cannot find anywhere else?
This store is unique in the many items it carries. From men's casual and formal items to women's and kids' items. There is also a full line of sundries, and you can see the wide range of "BEAMS" labels all in one place when you come here. I feel that it is a good place to complete shopping in one store, including for families. I myself used to be in a store that only carried men's clothing, but this store is very much appreciated by families and couples.

What is the appeal of the shoes proposed by "UNITED ARROWS" this time?
. It features grainy leather and a voluminous sole. Comfort is also taken into consideration: the outsole has the specifications of a sneaker, and the insole is cushioned. They are also recommended for people who experience stress in their legs when wearing leather shoes.
What are the advantages of these shoes in terms of styling?
This is the kind of face that will give you a wide range of styling options. Even in a business-oriented outfit, these shoes do not ruin the atmosphere of the outfit. When you want to dress casually but in an urban way, so-called leather shoes may give too stiff an impression, but these shoes mitigate this problem nicely. Also, the shoes have just the right amount of volume, so you can incorporate the current mood.
What did you pay attention to in terms of coordination?
When I wear a set-up, it tends to give a stiff impression, so I chose a silhouette that gives a good overall looseness. I usually wear a medium size, but I went up a size just for the jacket. Also, since the shoes are so striking, I made the pants shorter so that the buckles would be clearly visible. Silhouettes are becoming more diverse nowadays, so I recommend that you enjoy dressing not only in a true-to-size fit, but also in the size you choose. Also, what I personally envisioned was when I took off the jacket. I thought it would be nice to sneak in a short-sleeved top to create a different balanced atmosphere when the temperature is high.
What is the atmosphere like at UNITED ARROWS LUMINE Yokohama?
The store has a very large staff. Each of them has their own personality, and they all have different areas of expertise and styling, which I think is great. All of the members work very hard to serve our customers, so if you have any problems, please feel free to ask our staff for help. We will explain things that you may not understand from a quick glance at the products, and we hope that will be one of the attractions of shopping at the store.
Do you have any recommendations for places in Yokohama?
Yokohama Stadium. It is an uncovered stadium, so it feels nice to be in the atrium, and the beer you drink there is great. I'm really into baseball now, and this summer I'd like to wear a yukata (Japanese summer kimono) to the games. This year's All-Star Games will be held in Osaka and Kumamoto, so I am thinking that it would be nice to go away to watch a baseball game.

What is the appeal of those leather sneakers?
. a sneaker that can be worn by adult men in a classy way. The reasons are, first of all, that the material is leather, the appearance is beautiful, and the design is timeless.
Do you mean that you can wear them as if they were dress shoes?
They can be worn casually like sneakers, but the way they actually look is very elegant. They can also be worn with a jacket, which will broaden the range of places you can go and people you can meet. Although they are sneakers, they certainly give the impression of being a man of a higher class.
Please tell us about the "Common Project.
The shoes I wore this time are "Achilles Low", a standard color of the shape that is the root of the brand. . Actually, it is a shoe that has greatly influenced many luxury brands. They use the Serena sole, which is made in the same factory as the Maison brand, and it has excellent grip and is wonderfully comfortable. It is said that this sole alone is worth tens of thousands of dollars. These shoes have a very high level of perfection, but they also have a nice design that does not flaunt it.
Please tell us about the key points of coordination.
. By matching the shirt fabric jacket with wide pants, we dared not to make it too clean. The belt is black leather to match the shoes . Sneakers from the "Common Project" are elegant, but in my interpretation, they also have a sporty feel. . I chose these to put my feet in an active summer mood.
What kind of store is Tomorrowland LUMINE Shinjuku?
This is the largest of the Tomorrowland stores in the Shinjuku area. Many original items can be seen, and the breadth of the lineup is the best in Tokyo.

Keisuke Mukaithree
Why did you choose "Suicok"?
I think the best thing about this brand is that it is established as a highly functional shoe brand. Since its popularity does not fade away, it is also good to be able to use it for a long time. They have a wide variety of designs and collaborate with many brands. The model introduced here is a special order model from "Journal Standard.
What is the point of the special order?
The colors have been specially ordered to fit in with a variety of styles. The white sole is mixed with brown, making it easy to match with casual outfits. And the upper is made of Cordura, a solid fabric, and the sole is authentic Vibram. They are very comfortable to wear. I myself go camping, so it's nice to be able to wear them on such occasions. The strap allows you to adjust the size so that you can also wear socks with them.
What is the theme of today's coordination?
It is a summer outdoor style. . I chose something simple from "Journal Standard," which is the underlying theme (laughs). I wore a cut-and-sew top that can be worn as a top or an inner layer, and a long-sleeved shirt since I anticipated going outside to play. . It is very useful to have something to wear outdoors. . A casual shirt is compact and easy to carry around. . While wearing sandals in an active style, I tried to keep a slightly subdued impression, including the orange color of the top. . Overall, the size is based on the voluminous silhouette that is currently in vogue.
What is the attraction of the JOURNAL STANDARD LUMINE Omiya store?
. We are actively introducing interesting imported items within "Journal Standard". We aim to be the most dependable store in the Omiya area for highly sensitive people. It also features the highest ceiling in the store compared to others. Despite being located in a train station, once you step into the store, you will feel a sense of openness and be able to take a good look at the products.
Do you have any plans for yourself this summer?
Originally, my hobby was to go touring on my motorcycle, but I started tuning old Harleys myself, and then the community of people with the same hobby started to grow. Recently, I have been going camping with those friends. This year we are planning to go to "Fuji Speedway". There is an event booth at the track where motorcyclists gather and sell parts. Such a community is very fresh and interesting to me now.
(Ocival) T-shirt ¥7,800+TAX, shorts ¥12,800+TAX, New Balance sneakers ¥26,000+TAX (all at Bishop LUMINE Shinjuku)
What are the features of today's outfit?
The overall color scheme is navy to give a sense of unity to the outfit, and the sneakers add a mature look to the T-shirt and shorts combination, which might otherwise look childish. These New Balance sneakers are from the UK line and are slimmer in shape than the usual ones, so I think they give a mature look.
Why do you recommend the M1500 UK from New Balance?
. Anyway, it's the form. The shape tapers down toward the toes, and the volume is modest when viewed from the side, so the overall look is sleek and clean. Since the silhouette is not too wild, I think it is easy to adjust the balance of the coordination. These sneakers are available in several colors, but "Bishop" selected only this gray. I think it is the most orthodox and the color you will never get tired of. They are a bit pricey for a sneaker, but you will be happy if you are excited to get them.
Are there any places you would like to wear these sneakers to in the summer?
. I would like to go to Enoshima with my family. It is an annual family event, but I want to make a fun summer vacation memory for my children (laughs). . I would like to go to the ocean or an aquarium and let them experience something summery. On my days off, I take my children to Shinjuku Gyoen, which is within walking distance from Lumine Shinjuku. It is a place where the cherry blossoms are blooming out of season and the expression changes throughout the year, so I recommend going to see the plants.
What is the unique charm of Bishop LUMINE SHINJUKU?
The customers in Shinjuku are characterized by a wide range of ages and genres. Many of them are highly sensitive to fashion, and we try to offer the items they are looking for. Among the many "Bishop" stores, we have a selection of highly sensitive items, but we also offer universal staples that are typical of the "Bishop" brand. I think our strength lies in the fact that we have standard items that we always carry each season.
