I am still interested in the classic design of the bash!

New Balance BB650RVN

This high-cut model of the PRIDE 550, first introduced in 1989 as a bash for competitive athletes, has an appealing navy and white coloring reminiscent of the 1980s. The combination of nubuck and perforated leather and the three-dimensional N mark on the side are nostalgic, but the sole unit has been reworked for a modern look and feel. ¥19,800

Licaxxx:I knew that New Balance had a bash, but I thought it was cute that it was such a retro design with a high cut. I had an image of "New Balance" as a high-tech design, but with such a classic look, it would be easy for me to try them on. Also, I personally like the slightly dull white color, not pure white. I think the combination with navy goes with everything.

White Mountaineering x Taion down vest ¥49,500, Gramichi fleece jacket ¥23,100, New Balance BB650RVN ¥19,800

Licaxxx:Since the feet are navy, the fleece pattern is also in blue. The pattern is a bit loud when it is all over, so I adjusted it by layering a down vest over it. I don't often wear this kind of layering in my private life, but I thought it was a good combination, so I'm going to try it in my private life as well. I had an image of down vests being too bulky and voluminous, but this one is thin but has 850 fill power, so I think I can wear it even in the winter season. I would like to wear denim with pants for this coordinate.

-I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if you have a lot of running shoes these days, even for Nike.

Licaxxx:I don't have a lot of the "Air Max series." I haven't found a size that fits me when it comes to Air Max. If I were to wear them, I would prefer a bash with more volume.

-So, when choosing sneakers, the important thing is the design and volume.

Licaxxx:Context is important, but shape and volume are important if you simply want to incorporate them into fashion. The "More Uptempo" shoes I am wearing today have volume, and because they are air-filled, they also have a slightly thick sole, so I think they go well with thicker pants.

-Is there a color you often choose among sneakers?

Licaxxx:In spring and summer, there were many colors like white and off-white, but in fall and winter, I tend to choose subdued colors that are easy to match with my clothes.

-Do you also check the apparel of "NIKE"?

Licaxxx:I check out the "Jordan Series" apparel. I also check out collaborations with street brands. I'm interested in the Stussy and Nike collaborations.
