Takahashi Lamda's Delivery Styling for HOUYHNHNM's. Vol.3 Sand Suede Shoes Part 1

Once clothing lovers of any age get together, there is no end to the conversation about great products and styles. While such opportunities have become rare in our daily lives due to the national emergency and voluntary restraint from going out, two old acquaintances of Ms. Lambda visited us for this edition of HOUYHNHNM's Delista. Mr. Takayuki Fujii, designer of "Non-Native," and Mr. Hiroshi Doidi, communications director of "BEAMS" and representative of the new company "BEAT. They are now both alumni of the same generation who stood on the store floor at the same time, even though they have each established their own distinct positions and accomplishments. The theme of this, their second big talk, was a very biased one: "sand suede shoes. This time, we will deliver the true expressions of the experts, their passion that still hasn't cooled down even after they became adults, and the situation of their favorite items!

Nike AIR JORDAN 6

Doidi:Foreign, right? Jordan's 6 (six).

Fujii:I have one of those, too.

Doidi:Jordan is 1 universally a favorite, but that's a different frame of reference. What do you guys like?

Fujii:I guess I'm 3.

Lambda:I'm either 3 or 4. 6 doesn't interest me at all, but people like it.

Fujii:I like the 6 best as a design too, but I can't wear them.

Lambda:But this is a nice color scheme. I don't know if I'd call it a color scheme, but it's all gold and brown.

Doidi:Jordan has a lot of color schemes, like the Chicago colors or the Olympic model, but there aren't many single-color 6s, and I thought they would match what I have. Of course I wear shorts, but I also wear a variety of full-length shorts when I wear these.

Lambda:Sure, it's cool to look at it as an object.

Fujii:It's a great design. But that's the thing. It's the image of what black people would want to wear if they were going to wear them like leather shoes. Look at the luxuriousness of the golden brown color.

I think you mean as a status symbol.

Lambda:Like this gold on the tan. Classy and nice bash. I'm getting a little curious about these Jordans, too. But I probably won't wear them. It's hard to decide.

Fujii:Doiji, didn't you wear them at the gym the other day?

Doidi:I wear them at the gym. You used to lift dumbbells with them (laughs).

And so ends the first half of the talk, in which we touched on the two guests' favorites. In the second half, Lambda will give his personal recommendations and talk more freely. Stay tuned for the release soon!
