It's a good trick for those who notice it to enjoy it.
How do you like the new NB sweatshirt "1000 SERIES"?
JQ:It's crazy good. You can choose between regular fit and oversized fit silhouettes, so you can enjoy various combinations. I tried on a few, but they all have different moods, so it was hard to choose the right one (laughs). (Laughs.) But I really like it. The fact that you can enjoy so many variations of combinations, and that you can change the size of the same item and enjoy it in a different way, is very attractive.

Today you chose an oversized fit for both. The size is L for both the top and bottom. How did you feel when you chose them?
JQ:Oversized clothes give the impression of being worn roughly, but in my case, I like to wear my pants high-waisted. This creates a 90's hip-hop-like silhouette that makes the legs look longer. I like to wear my pants high-waisted, which gives a 90s hip-hop look and makes my legs look longer.
Your outerwear was gorgeous today.
JQ:Yes . You could wear this kind of outerwear , or a long coat with it. . And maybe a large leather jacket.
The reason why you wear loafers is, as you said earlier, to avoid over-emphasizing.
JQ:Outerwear is usually taken off when you go indoors. I was conscious of tightening the look with my feet so that it would not be too loose at that time.
I also wanted to show my socks. So, I chose shoes that would show a little of the instep of my feet.
How do you feel about the fit?
JQ:. it's outstanding. . thick and firm, yet fluffy and light. The hood also has a beautiful shape, and it is wonderful. The silhouette would not look good without this thickness.
I also feel the attention to detail. It's military-like , and has a nice atmosphere.
The back fabric is a reproduction of a vintage sweatshirt, and at 13 oz. it is a fairly heavy weight. Flat seams are used in areas where skin contact is a concern, and there are no irregularities in the seams. Reflector threads are used on the back sides, inspired by the "N" of shoes shining in the light. . There is also a subtle "N" stitched on the back.
Labels reminiscent of the motion control devices on the heels of New Balance shoes are sewn into the cuffs of the tops and into the hip pockets of the jogger pants.
The military-style logo design represents the fact that the first "1300" shoe in the 1000 series was introduced in 1985.
The NB Sweatshirt "1000 SERIES" is based on the "New Balance" 1000 series sneaker design.
JQ:You are very particular about it, aren't you? Like this patch on the arm, it's the kind of thing that makes people who like it say, "Holy shit! It's the kind of thing that makes people who like "New Balance" say, "Cool! But even if you don't know much about "New Balance," it doesn't interfere with the fashion, and it's casual enough that you don't mind. It's not too obvious, but it's a fun device that people who notice it can enjoy. You are very good at attracting your core fan base. It would be nice if people buy a pair because they think the design is cool, and then they become more and more into "New Balance," and then they realize, "This is actually something.
JQ: What kind of image do you have of "New Balance"?
JQ:Is it a brand that continues to create original and one-of-a-kind creations? . I think it is a brand with good design and comfortable sneakers. I think it is rare to find a brand that has both of these things in a brand that is also supported on the street. Everyone says that "New Balance" is "comfortable to wear," and its designs are loved on the streets, so it's great.
I often wear "New Balance" with a suit-like outfit, and it makes me feel like an urbanite. It gives me an urban feeling, like New Yorkers taking a Subway train to work with a cup of coffee in their hands. . Fashion is partly determined by the local character. Living in the city, you take the train more often, which means you walk more. New Balance fits that kind of lifestyle, and Tokyo fits that kind of image.
Do you actually use it in your private life?
JQ:. i'm wearing them. I don't remember which model number, but I have 5 or 6 pairs . . the basic ones and some of the newer models.
Do you wear a sweatshirt with it?
JQ:. There are times when I match them. . In such cases, I tend to wear quite eccentric shoes. I wear a simple marbled sweatshirt as a set-up, and wear items with a distinctive "New Balance" design on the feet as a color accentuation.
