The boundary of the scene is jumped over by Descente's sneakers.

What is the most appropriate sneaker for the current era? There are many answers, but Descente's new "Wayser" sneaker may be one answer. While it is waterproof, easy to put on and take off, and has a variety of other features, the Wayser is truly neutral in appearance. . In other words, it has the depth of nostalgia that transcends scenes and styles. We asked the multi-talented Eita Godo, who sometimes works as a member of the "TTNE" crew that operates a sauna business and sometimes as a DJ, to delve into the appeal of this sneaker, which can be called a multi-purpose shoe.

The day begins with a sauna.

PROFILE

Eita Kodo

Born and raised in Tokyo. His original experience as a DJ was an original mix tape he played in elementary school, and after playing in a band, he started his DJ career in earnest at the age of 18. His music selection transcends genres, and he is not only involved in the club scene, but also selects records for guest rooms at the hotel "K5" and is in charge of playlists for the second home "SANU. At the same time, he is active as a member of the crew of "TTNE," a sauna production brand, focusing on saunas.

Before working as a crew member at TTNE, Godo-san's day begins with a sauna.

I have a routine every morning. I go for a light run at the gym near the office, take one set in the sauna provided, and then come to work. I know everyone has their own definition of "fit," but for me, one set is enough. If I do too much, my body gets tired, so I'm fine with that before work.

Mr. Kodo, who gets a jump-start on his work in the sauna, has a wide variety of tasks at the TTNE office. For example, he directs all apparel and goods. Checking fabric swatches is part of that. If we are asked to produce a sauna, we start with the design and see it through to the press release after it is completed. And the list of tasks is endless, from calculating money to dealing with clients to the most detailed work.

I haven't worn a jacket in a long time, but these sneakers can be worn with any style. They could go to a slightly more formal party or to the club scene. What's also very helpful is the water-resistant design. I work separately from [TTNE], but as a DJ, spilling alcohol and other drinks is an everyday occurrence (laughs). (Laughs) In my case, I work during the day and DJ at night... In other words, I often switch scenes, so with these sneakers, I don't have to worry about what shoes to wear that day.
