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? We will introduce the real shoe choices of the best sneaker freaks in the industry in a relay format. This time, we introduce Ken Kagami, a contemporary artist, who was introduced by Katsutoshi Nishimoto in the previous issue. We asked him to name five pairs that he particularly likes these days, and asked him why he chose each of them and what he likes about them.

Kagami:Yes. The color was originally navy but has faded nicely. It was originally navy, but has faded nicely.
You have a batten painted on your toe.
Kagami:When I want to try out magic, I often draw on shoes. This is probably the same way.
