FN / FOUR NINES FOR YOUTH

Glasses, Tokyo, 6 styles and FN.

The Japanese brand "FOUR NINES (999.9)" has been producing high-quality eyewear since its establishment in 1995. In 2023, FN (FOUR NINES) was born as a new line that develops with free ideas in accordance with current trends. The line encompasses various fashions and cultures while maintaining the technology and quality that the brand has cultivated up to now. How does such a full-bodied collection look in the eyes of Tokyo's young people with style? We visited them in their fields and took some snapshots. The comfort and looks seem to be very good.

Please tell us about your daily fashion.

Arai:Most of them are ordinary items. I think such items have a deep sense of nostalgia and are interesting because they can be interpreted differently by different people who wear them. I also like things that can be bought anywhere at any time. What I am wearing now is neither rare nor expensive.
