Who would you recommend these shoes to?

These are leather sneakers from "Common Project," which have been sold at Tomorrowland for more than 10 years. They have a simple design and are made of premium leather, so we really recommend them to those who are looking for something high quality that can be used for a long time.

It seems to fit in with any style.

The minimalist design allows you to choose any style, and the lightness of the sneaker and the heaviness of the leather make this pair well balanced. The logo is placed on the heel in a small size, and the simplicity of the design is not too assertive, but still has a sense of roominess that is cool. I think they can be worn by people of all ages.

Please tell us about today's coordination.

Instead of leather shoes, these sneakers are daringly paired with a simple setup to take it off. By choosing a high neck knit as an inner layer instead of a shirt, the impression is not too formal. This is an appropriate coordinate for a relaxed dinner party.

What kind of place is Yokohama for you?

I have been working at "Tomorrowland" for about 15 years, and even though I was here for four and a half years before and came back a year and a half ago after a while, it is still a warm place with customers who have known me for a long time. Tomorrowland LUMINE Yokohama is the flagship store in the Yokohama area, and I think it has almost all of the original brands, and it is also a very convenient store because it is directly connected to the station.

Do you have a favorite spot in Yokohama?

I recommend "Asobuilding," which was established in March this year and is about a 3-minute walk from the station. It is a complex facility that offers a variety of entertainment experiences such as escape games, VR, and exhibition booths, so it is a fun place to go with family, friends, or couples.

Common Project is a shoe brand that started in New York in 2004. Under the theme of "high quality materials at high quality factories," everything is produced in Italy. The shoes are also characterized by their serial numbers. ¥49,000+TAX (Tomorrowland Lumine Yokohama store)
