I find the approach of updating classic models appealing.
CLASSIC LEATHER OG" ¥10,000＋TAX Since its introduction in 1983, this pair still shines with evergreen brilliance. The versatility to fit any styling and the comfort derived from running shoes have earned them the support of many people around the world. This season, the last was changed for a more streamlined silhouette. In addition, by adopting a sockliner made of foam material, the comfort of the shoes has also been updated to be more comfortable. The model has evolved into one that is easier to wear on a daily basis.
K.K.: The "Classic Leather" has undergone a renewal. The basic design remains the same, but the lasts have been changed to make them look slimmer.
Miyoshi:The nose looks a little longer than the old model. As a fashion item, I feel that it has become easier to wear. It's just a small difference, but I think it's much easier to match with bottoms.
How do they feel?
Miyoshi:I can't wear the old ones anymore (laughs). I think the old model looks good on a person with a big body; it gives a better balance. But you have updated the old model to a model that is easy for anyone to wear. If you wear them with slacks, like I'm wearing today, I think a silhouette as sharp as this is better balanced. Of course, denim or chinos would also be easier to match with this model.
Miyoshi:I am also attracted to the approach of updating these classic models, rather than creating new shoes that are more fashion-oriented. I think such an approach is conversely modern.
These models have a timeless appeal, and there is a sense of security in knowing that you can always buy them. I feel that you value these aspects, and that gives me a sense of trust in you.
What did you think about the coordination?
Miyoshi:I haven't really thought about it, it's the same as usual. It's the same as when I wear "Club Sea. Since the pants I am wearing today have a drawcord, I thought it would be nice to squeeze them a little and feel them pooling at the hem.
The way you wear the shoes with the laces loosened shows your individuality.
Miyoshi:I simply can't be bothered to tie my shoelaces... (smiles). (Bitterly.) But even without tightening the laces properly, the shoes fit well. When I looked at old Reebok advertisements, they were all taken with the shoelaces loose. I thought that was interesting.
