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.

Easy to take off is justice.

Going to the sauna is both a business and a private activity for Mr. Godo .

Mr. Godo visited Koganeyu in Kinshicho on this day. Renovated several years ago under the design of Schema Architecture, it was reborn as a public bathhouse with a clean sauna. Although rooted in the community, it is one of the facilities leading the recent sauna boom with its high quality sauna and fresh presence.

I knew that Koganeyu had a DJ booth, and as I was talking with the staff, I asked if I could DJ there, and they seemed to remember me, and later asked me to DJ there. He later called me and offered me a chance to DJ. Also, "Koganeyū" was chosen for the "Saunasuran" award, which TTNE presents every November to recognize the best saunas to go to now. Through such communication, we have become good friends.

His sauna style is exclusively relaxing. On this day, he was wearing a sweatshirt set-up.

I was surprised at the ease of wearing and walking in DESCENTE's sneakers, not to mention the design that goes well with sweatshirts. I thought at first glance that they might be hard because of the silhouette of court shoes, but the soles are soft and very comfortable. Also, as with this setup, I have to be able to get naked and take off my clothes quickly for my work in the sauna (laughs). . As I often go barefoot in water during location scouting and field surveys, I often have to take off and put on shoes. . Therefore, I also like the shoe lace system that makes it easy to put on and take off. This feature is a plus not only for me, but for everyone.
