Talking About UGG® Wesrsider Low Weather

Sneaker Top Meeting.
In-depth focus on the new Westsider Low Weather from UGG®!

When you think of "UGG®," you think of sheepskin boots. The CA805 MLT sneaker, launched in 2019, was a huge hit and has established itself on the sneaker scene. The long-awaited new model, the Westsider Low Weather (Westsider Low Weather ), is now available from [ag®]. The design combines the brand's typical stylish upper with a chunky sole that follows in the footsteps of the previous model, but how does it look to the discerning sneaker connoisseur? We asked two leading figures in the sneaker scene in Japan and around the world to take a look at and try on the new "ag®" sneakers and give their impressions from a professional's point of view.

. The perfection as a sneaker has been enhanced. (Kunii.)

Now, could you actually try it on?

Kojima: . is more stable than the "CA805."

Kunii: Yes, they are. I said earlier that they feel heavy when I hold them, but when I put them on, I don't feel that at all.

Kojima: I'm wearing "CA805" and "Westsider Low Weather" on both sides, and the comfort, of course, is totally different. Personally, I find it easier to walk when the sole is soft, but sometimes my feet get tired, so this elasticity might be just right. I can't say for sure because I haven't worn them for a long time yet, but the feeling I got when I tried them on was that they fit me.

Kunii: The CA805 touring shoes had great cushioning, but because the insole was flat, I couldn't help but feel that my feet would fall inward when I walked. However, I feel that the insole has been improved to prevent the foot from falling inward, or rather, the stability has been compensated for. The heel counter holds just the right amount of pressure.

Kojima: . I don't want them to look cool but be uncomfortable to wear.

Kunii: . what I feel is by far the most advanced from the "CA805" is the careful treatment of the lining. You don't feel the seam on the inside, and it feels better around the foot. When you look inside high-end models of other sports brands, you can see that the seams are properly treated. You can feel that. It's a small detail, but the perfection as a sneaker has been enhanced, and the comfort level, which you can tell by putting your foot through it, has gone up several notches. I think that not only the sneaker fanatic as people talk about them, but also the core sneaker freak will pick them up.
