These shoes look easy to wear.

This is a new model from a brand called "Soloviere. It is leather but slip-on type, so it is easy to wear and has a minimalist design. The atmospheric leather looks great when dressed up, and of course it is easy to use for casual occasions as well. Bishop" has been carrying these shoes for many seasons now, but this pair is different from the usual ones because it is a sporty line and sneaker type, so it is fresh.

What would you recommend wearing it with?

Although they can be worn in any style, I decided to match these sophisticated shoes with an all-black color scheme for a clean look. I left the relaxed look with thick pants and a knit cap for a masculine and clean style (laughs). I think they would also look great as an off-the-cuff item when worn with a tight-fitting suit set-up.

Bishop Lumine Shinjuku was renovated in March this year, wasn't it?

The area of the store is larger than before, so the leading lines are wider and each item is easier to see. We have also increased the number of full-figure displays, making it a space where you can enjoy shopping at your leisure. Please stop by when you are in Shinjuku.

Do you have any plans for your summer vacation?

I am planning to go on a one-day trip in September with six of my colleagues from my company. Since it is usually difficult to make plans together, I hope to take this opportunity to rent a car and have fun together. Personally, I would like to see a variety of movies. I have been a user of "TOHO Cinemas" for a long time, and it has become my routine to buy a set of ginger ale and salted popcorn when I go to the cinema (laughs).

Launched in 2014, this pair of sneakers from Parisian brand Solovier is the first pair of sneakers from the brand. A thick, elastic band wraps around the smooth leather of this pair, which retains its chic, typical shape while adding a new silhouette. Light, comfortable, and practical. ¥46,000+TAX (Bishop LUMINE Shinjuku)
