Which Teva® do you love? 10 street snapshots.

Sandals are essential for summer. This year, we particularly recommend Teva® sports sandals, which excel in design and comfort. High cushioning and hold, surprisingly light weight, urban coloring... Teva has a model to suit every lifestyle. For this issue, we asked 10 unique pairs of people to try on the sandals for the 2017 spring/summer season. A comedy duo on the verge of a round-the-world trip, a family captivated by kendama, a couple who love to drink, and more.

Teva® Terra-Fi Lite(Personal Effects)
I heard that you usually wear Teva.: I run a vintage clothing store, and sports sandals are very popular. I wear them on a daily basis, and I always take them with me when I go outdoors. I can go straight into the river, and even if I have to use them hard, I have no problem with a pair of sandals.
When did you buy the Teva sandals you wore today?: I used to use used Teva shoes for a long time, but I bought the ones I am wearing today brand new the year before last. The sole is not peeling off, as is often the case with used shoes, and they are very sturdy.
Is there anything to keep in mind when wearing sports sandals?: I am especially concerned about the length of pants. I also try not to be too rough with my sandals.

Takeshi Togo, 39 years old :. Teva® Hurricane Volt ¥12,000+TAX
Manosuke (9 years old) :. Teva® Psyclone 4 ¥4,500+TAX
How did you feel about wearing Teva's sandals?: Takeru : Actually, I don't like the feeling of wearing sandals with bare feet. But I felt that Teva's sandals are a new genre, similar to sneakers.; Manosuke : The size can be adjusted with tape, so they fit my feet perfectly! The shoes get hot when I wear them, but these were cool.
What kind of work do you usually do, Mr. Togo?: Takeru : While street kendama is becoming popular, I have the impression that artwork and design have not caught up with it. In order to create something that everyone can agree on, I am working on a brand of kendama tools called "KENHOL.
How do you want Shinnosuke to grow up?: Takeru : While you are free to choose various paths, I want you to pursue what you really want to do until you get the results you want.

Teva® Flatform Universal Retro ¥7,800+TAX
What did you think of Teva's sandals?: They are lightweight, cute, and easy to walk in! They are often seen at festivals, and I have the impression that they are the standard for sandals.
Do you have any particular fashion preferences in your daily life?: You wear vintage clothes a lot. It has an atmosphere that new clothes don't have, and it also gives a sophisticated impression. Also, I wear glasses. I am so particular about my glasses that I decide how to coordinate them.
I heard that you are in a band.: We are a 4-piece girl's post-punk band. We play a lot of gigs with international artists, and we are releasing our first EP "Listerine/Dad Cry" on May 25, so please check it out!

Teva® Terra-Float Universal Lite ¥8,800+TAX
What did you think of Teva's sandals? What kind of pants do you like to wear them with in the summer?: The sole bends well and the feeling of being on the ground made it easy to walk in. In the summer, I would like to wear them with cropped pants or something.
What is the point of today's outfit?: I wore a nylon jacket that was a little outdoorsy while still having a modish look.
Do you have any particular fashion preferences in your daily life?: It's about choosing the right pants for the right occasion. Pants can completely change your impression. If you want a mode impression, choose wide, suit-type fabrics, and if you want a rock 'n' roll impression, choose skinny ones.

Yusuke Kobayashi, 31 years old :. Teva® Alp ¥7,800+TAX
Yuko (age 31) :. Teva® Alp ¥7,800+TAX
How did you feel about wearing Teva's sandals?: Yusuke : I wore sports sandals for the first time and they were comfortable.; Yuko : I had other sports sandals, but they were too heavy to wear for a long time. But Teva's sandals are lightweight, so I can wear them for a long time and not get tired.
Certainly, it is convenient to have these sandals.: Yusuke : We both suddenly started getting into camping last year, so I thought it would be great if we had one for the upcoming season. I guess I didn't have it until now to get to know Teva today (laughs).; Yuko : Also, it looks easy to wash. It seems to dry quickly, and I don't have to worry about taking care of it.
How do you two spend your holidays?: Yusuke : I drink a lot of alcohol. Coffee shochu is my favorite.; Yuko : When we camped in the middle of winter, we just drank hot sake (laughs).

Shinsei Sakurama (age 20) :. Teva® Alp Premier ¥9,800+TAX
Takashi Hayashi (age 20) :. Teva® Terra-Float Slide ¥9,800+TAX
How do you feel about wearing [Teva]?: Mr. Sakurama : Basic models are good, but the ones with many straps like the model I wore this time are cuter.; Hayashi : Like sneakers, my feet felt well protected.
I heard that he is going on a round-the-world trip next month.: Mr. Sakurama : I have always loved to travel, and it was my dream to go around the world before I was 20 years old.; Hayashi : I thought I could do a lot of episodes and stories. Even if it is a long way, I want to make a drawer as a comedian now.; Mr. Sakurama : That's a good point... When I come back to Japan, I will go out to a lot of gigs!
Teva's sandals seem like a good choice for a round-the-world trip.: Mr. Kurama : When I traveled across the U.S. for 40 days before, I wore shoes for only one day. With the straps holding my feet in place, it was easy to walk, and there was no problem even if they got wet in the rain. Above all, it saves me the trouble of washing my socks. I think that's why many travelers have Teva sandals.

Teva® Hurricane Toe Pro ¥9,300+TAX
Your orange hair is striking. How did you get approached for the modeling job?: I was contacted by someone who saw my instagram post. After I changed my hair to orange, I started getting jobs. I usually work at a bar and earn money to go out drinking through modeling (laughs).
The western style jacket and patterned shirt are cool. Do you have any particular fashion style?: Actually, I'm not really interested... I only have one pair of shoes, and most of my clothes were given to me.
Teva" looks great with orange socks that match the color of her hair.: With beesan, my toes rub against them and they hurt, but these are lightweight and easy to wear. I plan to go to a festival called "RAINBOW DISCO CLUB" during Golden Week, so I will wear these to dance!

Sandals :. Teva® Original Universal ¥6,300+TAX
How do you feel about wearing Teva's sandals?: From the moment I put them on, I could feel my feet fitting into the earth.
I heard that skating is your hobby.: I have been doing this since I was in junior high school. I thought it would be difficult to slip in sandals, but Teva holds my feet and made it easier than I imagined.
Please tell us about your own brand, KRoll.: We started in 2014 and started to present our products in full scale at exhibitions last year. Skater styles are often similar clothes that are bracketed as street, so we would like to propose new silhouettes and shades.
