HEEL COLLECTIVE meets by Schott
A certain skate crew and a new shot.

Just as the young people who have been the stars of the city in every era have always flaunted their community through common music and fashion, today's skaters are expressing their individual styles as a crew. One such group is the "HEEL COLLECTIVE," which is currently touring the country holding film previews and pop-up events. They are wearing a new youthful collection by Schott, which is based on the theme of "SQUAD" (friends). We will introduce you the fascinating charm of the collection along with fragments of their daily skate life.

Their a day in the life, touring skate spots.

HEEL COLLECTIVE is a skateboarding crew based in Tokyo, Japan, that has started full-fledged operations in 2019. The crew is led by brand director and filmer SHIN (bottom right in the photo) and SHOHEI (top left in the photo), who is well respected by local skaters as a signature rider. Recently, 21-year-old RETSU (top right) and 17-year-old YUSUKE (bottom left), who are expected to be active as young skaters in the future, have joined the crew, and they are up-and-coming skaters who are attracting attention from the fashion scene.

The boxy silhouette of the MA-1 is a distinctive feature of this season's MA-1, and it can be combined with purple-colored items, which is also a trend this season, to create a seasonal look. It also goes well with the autumnal corduroy material.

The field jacket with a functional aspect is popular in black, which fits in well with town use. If you match it with work pants and a wild look, it will give you a more skater-like impression.

It is correct to wear the sweatshirt set-up one size larger than usual. The simple fit and the discreet one-pointed logo add just the right amount of accent.

The first spot they visited was a spot in Tokyo that they all say is "just the best location. The beautiful asphalt surface of this spot, although challenging, is a well-known spot that even international skaters check out.

The photogenic spots that they often visit for filming their videos are where their usual skater style, with military-like outerwear and vintage-inspired sweatshirts, looks best.
