PROFILE
In 2017, he participated in the establishment of "IMA:ZINE," which advocates "a clothing store like a magazine. His motto is to pick up items that show the face of the creator rather than the object, and deliver the intention of the creator to the guests. His initial work to weave the designer's thoughts is just like that of an editor.

Q1: What is the point of today's coordination?
TANY: I think "The Forum" has its roots in basketball. Indoor court shoes and outdoor gear. It is a style that plays with items made for contradictory situations. After all, classic shoes look good no matter what you wear. Another key point is that I chose to wear the flared silhouette of the 646 instead of the straight 501.
Q2. What is the appeal of vintage clothing? . Please also tell us about some vintage clothing that you have been interested in recently.
TANY: Is it that there is a unique individuality that can only be found in vintage clothing? Recently, I am interested in futuristic items made in the late 1990s to early 2000s. I am impressed by the effort that went into each item, whether it was made around the end of the century or not. When I look at them now, they don't look new, but on the contrary, I think the times have caught up with them and they can be worn with ease.
Q3. How do you feel about wearing this work?
TANY: It is already a complete design that requires no further additions or subtractions. I think that's why the pants you wear with them can completely change the look of your outfit. As I mentioned earlier, today's look is old-school with the 646s, but I think the 501s will give you an atmosphere reminiscent of the 90s. I think that because it is an item that gives a sense of stability to the feet, it can expand the combinations of tops and pants to an infinite number of combinations.
Q4. How did you find this work with old clothes?
TANY: I thought that the "Superstar" brand, which is well-known as "adidas Originals," could be used to coordinate with any old clothes. Not only could I combine sneakers and boot cuts, which I had never done before, but I could also mix indoor sports with outdoor activities without any sense of discomfort.
