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 FORCE 1 MID ID

Lambda:But the sole is something different, isn't it?

Fujii:. The sole seems to be for outdoor activities.

Lambda:Does that mean Fujii made it with iD (NIKE iD. now Nike by You)?

Fujii:Yes, about 5 years ago .

Doidi:I like the idea of mid again.

Fujii:I like the Force One mid, and I don't really have the low. But maybe this suede is a lie.

Lambda:You mean faux suede, right? Yeah, it's probably synthetic leather.

Fujii:That was a little disappointing and I hardly ever wear them (laughs).

Doidi:(Laughs) . But this color scheme is very current, isn't it?

Fujii:Surprisingly, this kind of color scheme hasn't been released yet. Isn't iD even more amazing now? You can even choose a regular sole, or even a raw color.

Doidi:Like aging? Wow.

Do you try "Nike By You" often?

Fujii:Even if I don't end up asking them to do it, I often ask them if I can do this kind of thing by balancing things like this.

Doidi:. you mean imagine it.

Fujii:Yes . I want software like that (laughs).

Doidi:But what got Takago so into suede in the first place?

Fujii:I think I first bought a pair of Irish Setter suede jeans when I was in high school, but back then everyone wore vintage denim, right? I thought they were the best fit for me. I didn't like the reddish brown Irish setters because they looked too American. Suede looked really stylish.

Doidi:I see.

Fujii:From there, there were very few beige suede sneakers in the world until I made a special order for my own brand, New Balance, for example. That's why I did it with my first collaboration. Even the staff asked me, "Will beige sell?" (laugh). (Laughs.) I made them with the idea of making them look like leather shoes.

Non-native: What kind of model was the first beige "New Balance" that you made a special order for?

Fujii:. 1700. You have Doidi, don't you?

Doidi:Yes, I have , I have.

Lambda:Me , I didn't get it.

Fujii:Maybe he went to Paris?

Lambda:Ah , I see (laughs).

Fujii:Nowadays, beige is always a color variation of sneakers, even in-line, isn't it? But back then, there was really only black and white.

Lambda:With sneakers, yes, and even with leather shoes, there are dark brown and black suede, but beige suede was hard to find.

Fujii:When VISVIM's FBT came out in 2000 or so, that was also new, wasn't it?

Lambda:It's like a combination of a moccasin and a sneaker sole. I think this Louis Vuitton's is close to it, too. They were all fused together at once in that era. Also, we are wearing suede shoes today.

Doidi:Yeah. . I wanted to make sure I didn't go out of style. This is a special order from "Donkey Shos" for "BEAMS F.

Fujii:I'm wearing this season's "Paraboots," a special order from "Non-Native.

Lambda:Also, the tone is almost the same as the "Timber" special order. I guess what we like is always the same.

Fujii:Yes, they are. The sole is a little different from the inline because it is thicker, and the inside is black, which is not very common, is it? The stitching on the heel is also black. I like beige with black.

Lambda:Indeed. I'm wearing a pair of "Paraboots" today, and the sole is just as thick.

Doidi:. Looking at this one, for a moment you can't tell which shoe it's from.

Lambda:. is it "Para" or "Timber"? Oh, I'm a US 8. Size.

Fujii:.......

Doidi:What about Lambda's?

Lambda:. I wore the "Beauty and Youth" special order "Lance" today.

Fujii:It's a little bit like George Cox.

Lambda:Normally, the welt is jagged, but it is straight, which makes it look more elegant. So, next, I would like to introduce some of Mr. Doidi's items. But they are ridiculously large, again (laughs). (Matching them with his own shoes) But this is it!
