BEAMS LUMINE Omiya Shinya Hirota, age 24

BEAMS] vest ¥11,000+TAX, T-shirt ¥5,500+TAX, [Mighty Shine] cap ¥8,900+TAX, [BEAMS] shoes ¥11,000+TAX (all at BEAMS Lumine Omiya), others: all personal effects

What are the features of your shoes?

These simple oxford sneakers have a fine suede upper. The slip-on style makes them easy to put on and take off. Moreover, since they are all black, they are not too casual even in a rough style. They are perfect for use from the beginning of fall.

What is the theme of today's coordination?

. This is a rough style to wear for outdoor occasions in early fall. The vest is an outdoor-style design, and the pants are a loose silhouette with many pockets to match. The T-shirt I am wearing is made of 100% recycled material called "recover® BLUE," an original item from BEAMS made with the global environment in mind. These shoes can be worn not only with outdoor styling, but also with street-style and clean clothes.

What kind of store is the BEAMS LUMINE Omiya?

All the staff are friendly and lively, and it is a fresh store (laughs). The station is also served by the Shinkansen bullet train, so there are many customers coming from outlying areas or on their way home from work. The walls are made of glass so that they are easily visible to people walking through the concourse, so if there is an item you are looking for, you can easily find it. You can see both men's and women's wear from the entrance, so even first-time customers can enter without hesitation.

Do you have a favorite place to go to in Omiya?

. It's a town with many food restaurants. I often go to "Bushu Akane Udon and Midori Dining" . Although it has "udon" in its name, its main dish is hamburgers . I recommend the set meal that includes a hamburger, udon, and rice, so please try it.

Eliminating the laces, this trendy design has an elastic band. The buyer is confident that the height and width of the instep have been revised many times at a factory in Portugal, which BEAMS has trusted for many years, to create a beautiful form. ¥11,000+TAX (BEAMS Lumine Omiya store)
