Q1: What is the point of today's coordination?
Murakami: , including the "Top Ten" on the feet, I tried to create a gradation by using shades of blue. I coordinated mainly with a tuna, but I also matched it with a shirt because a long T inside would have been too wild. The cap is from "N.N. Bean," which I started making because I like natto (fermented soybeans) and clothes.
Q2. What is the appeal of vintage clothing? . Please also tell us about some vintage clothing that you have been interested in recently.
Murakami: The most attractive thing is that you don't have to wear it with others, and the other thing is that you can read the historical background in the details of the item, or it has a tag of a brand whose name you have never even heard of, which gives you the pleasure of digging around. I like "Elle Bean" now and in the past, and I'm always on the lookout for it. If I can find a dowdy item that is typical of this store, I try to buy it.
Q3. How do you feel about wearing this work?
Murakami: I wonder if the size is made to fit Japanese feet, or if it is slightly tight, so the fit is excellent. They are also sophisticated in appearance, so I think they are perfect for people like me who like earthy clothes. Also, I can feel the meticulous work of "adidas Originals" in the invisible details, such as the blue coloring on the outsole. It's also exciting to see the colored sole glimpsed every time you walk.
Q4. How did you find this work with old clothes?
Inoue: Bash shoes have an impression of being bland and dull, but "Top Ten" is a pair that overturns such an image. . I think they go well with not only casual old clothes, but also dressy used clothes. I would like to wear them so that they can be accented with shoes so as to take advantage of the three stripes and the color of the footwear.
