Do you remember the first time you wore Vans?
I don't remember exactly which one was my first "Vans" , but it was ....... I think it was "SLIP-ON" that I bought when I was in junior high school . I bought it because it was fashionable and cool.
What is the appeal of "Vans"?
Each person can find different angles of appeal. From skateboarding, surfing, BMX, music, art, fashion, and more, culture is packed into the simple design of these shoes.
What is important to you when choosing shoes?
Colors. My color preferences change with the seasons. These days, green is my favorite.
What was the point of the design?
Since I belong to Vans Japan, I incorporated the Japanese theme of "Wind God and Thunder God" into the design. The key point is the debeso on the heel.
How did you like the design?
I drew the design on the "AUTHENTIC" developed on a flat surface, but when I submitted it, it became 3D, so it was difficult to imagine it as I drew it. I painted it incorrectly with the coloring I had in mind, but I am glad I was able to draw it well as a result! I think this content is fun to design with kids.
