What kind of image do you have of "Clarks"?
Sato: , a venerable brand with a British gentlemanly attitude that is uniquely British. I think it is one of the few that are not only loved on the streets, but also supported by a wide range of people.
What do you like about Wallaby, which you use on a regular basis?
Sato: They can be worn casually like sneakers, and can also be worn with suits and other outfits, and their wide range is a key point. Also, there are many models made of GORE-TEX®︎ these days, such as the "BEAMS" special order pair I am wearing today, and I am glad that I can wear them without stress even on rainy days.
. Do you have any rules or specialties when you wear "Wallabies"?
Sato: Fobs should be left on. Like the "Timberland" hangtag, there are arguments about whether or not to remove it depending on local rules and the manner of the field to which one is devoted, but I myself am attracted to the aesthetic of wearing such accessories on purpose.
Do you have any style references for styling with "Wallaby"?
Sato: Although they are not artists, etc., many of the senior staff at "BEAMS" are also "Wallaby" users, and I often learn from their cool styling and unique ways of wearing the shoes.
Do you have any special order or collaboration models that have left a lasting impression on you?
Sato: I myself was involved in the planning of the leather "Wallaby," which was released at the "Refugee Market" one-day event held two years ago at BEAMS T Harajuku. . I am very grateful to Clarks for accepting the project, and to everyone else involved.
What kind of "wallaby" style would you like to try?
Sato: Plain t-shirts and chinos are best. From now on, I would like to match it with wide shorts, while enjoying the socks.
What are you into these days?
Sato: Indoor futsal that I participate in with friends. I would like to make it a habit even as part of my health maintenance, but lately I have been busy with work and helping with household chores, so I haven't been able to go. ......
What is the fashion item you are most interested in right now?
Sato: Sunglasses. . It may be summer, but I would like to wear them when I am driving a car.
What are your favorite movies and music?
Sato: As for music, I have always loved HIPHOP, and recently I really enjoyed the compilation album "SauRas Being".
