The sneaker market continues to expand, with the latest performance shoes, limited editions, collaborations, faithful reissues, and even top maisons participating. What are the perspectives of the sneaker experts, what models do they choose, and what do they actually wear? In this issue, we will introduce the real shoe choices of the industry's leading sneaker freaks in a relay format. This time, Mr. Katsutoshi Nishimoto of "Nishimoto is the mouth" was introduced by Mr. Mitsuhiro Kubo in the previous issue.

03: adidas_ZX Flux Slip On Customize it in your own way, and this is what you get.

And the slip-on version of the "ZX Flux" by Adidas. This is ......!

Nishimoto:These were ordered through "My adidas," a customization service that adidas used to offer. In addition to being able to arrange the colors, I was also able to embroider letters of my choice on the upper strap.

I see. As for the letters, I can only say that they are as you see them.

Nishimoto:I tried to order these letters with "NIKEiD" and got bounced, but "My Adidas" was OK. I like it very much . . The letters, they're so big (laughs).
