Nike's "all-black" look is a tech-savvy choice.
NIKE P-6000 PRM
Inspired by Nike's Pegasus 25 and 2006, the nostalgic design of the P-6000 is reminiscent of running shoes from the 2000s with its breathable mesh and vertical and horizontal overlays. The lightweight yet cushioned footwear is sure to be comfortable even for town use. The all-black color can be worn with any outfit. ¥15,400
Licaxxx:The all-black design is quite nice; I've never seen the P-6000 model before, but the cool coloring, even the sole is black, seems to fit my fashion. I'm also a big fan of designs that are somewhere between high-tech and retro.
Acronium shell jacket, ¥389,400
Licaxxx:For this coordination, I had already decided to wear a tech outerwear, so I chose Nike's P-6000, which is all black, even the sole. I felt comfortable wearing a tech outerwear made of GORE-TEX material. The zipper on this shell jacket is unique, and the asymmetrical design of the sleeves caught my attention. Even in black, it makes a statement when the design is this strong. Pants are rough, and sweatpants are worn with it to adjust the overall balance.
-When you choose sneakers, do you choose from the men's selection?
Licaxxx:I usually choose from the men's line, but I also check out colors that are only available in the women's line. Nike's men's shoes have a form that is perpendicular to the direction of travel when viewed from above, but the women's shoes are slightly curved inward when viewed from above.
-Do you choose a sneaker size slightly larger to match your pants?
Licaxxx:Yes, I do. My actual size is about 6.5" (24.5cm) or 7" (25cm) in the US, but when I buy shoes, I choose 8" (26cm) in the US. Of course, they are a little larger than my size, but I can wear them if I put insoles in them.
-Why do you choose 8 inches?
Licaxxx:Since 8 inches is a size that does not compete with boys who like sneakers, even rare models are sometimes left over in stock. . This is one of the reasons why I often choose 8-inch sneakers.
-I see! It's true that people who like sneakers choose sizes larger than 9 inches. That's an eye-opener.
-How many pairs of sneakers do you have?
Licaxxx:I think I have less than 100 pairs of sneakers, though about 80-90% of them are Nike (laughs).
-How do you store that many items?
Licaxxx:I have a shelf in the hallway and bar all of them. . I can't fit them in the shoe box in the hallway or anywhere else I can put them away. . I'm not the type of person who collects, so I wear every pair of sneakers I buy.
-I see . I am also wondering how you decide on your daily sneaker choices.
Licaxxx:Basically, I decide what to wear , and then I choose the sneakers that go with it. . I check the weather, just in case it's sunny or rainy.
-What kind of sources do you use for information on clothing?
Licaxxx:. I check the looks of my favorite brands every season. I also go to exhibitions of brands I know. I get a little bit of information from these sources.
-Lastly, what do sneakers mean to you?
Licaxxx:It is a form of self-expression. Wearing a pair of sneakers that you like will get you excited, and you can tell a lot about a person's likes and personality by the sneakers he or she is wearing. That part of it is also interesting.

This is a standard item to match with old denim!
CONVERSE ALL STAR HI
Everyone has worn a pair of "Converse" All-Stars at least once. The universal design, of course, but what is also noteworthy is its versatility in terms of dressing up or down. The depth of nostalgia that allows them to fit in with any style tends to be the last thing you want to rely on. The toe and side rubber parts will change color to a raw color as they are worn in. ¥9,350
Licaxxx:The All Star is one of the few sneakers I own outside of " Nike ". I have navy, black, and a collaboration model. I like to wear All-Stars by choosing a large size and tying the laces tightly. If I tie them very tightly, there will be a little extra laces left over, but I love the style of wrapping them around my ankles and wearing them. I think they go best with denim!
B-3 bomber jacket by Alpha, ¥24,750
Licaxxx:If I was wearing " Converse " All-Stars on my feet, I wanted to match them with washed, light-colored denim. If I wore denim, I thought a flight jacket would go well with it, so I chose a B-3. The coordination is based on the footwear. I am also interested in leather outerwear this season, so I chose a B-3 jacket with a warm boa. Another key point is that it is made of eco-friendly leather.
-What do you look for when choosing outerwear?
Licaxxx:Anyway, I wouldn't buy outerwear that isn't warm (laughs). Of course, looks are important, but warmth is a very big factor. Also, it is important to match it with the pants you have.
What kind of outerwear do you often wear?
Licaxxx:I like flight jackets. . I also like down jackets and MA-1s, and plan to wear them again this year. I like standard outerwear, but I think that jackets with a twist or quirky design are more suited to my character and the way I wear them. Also, I like B-3 type jackets. I am looking for faux leather outerwear.
-Tech outerwear is also trendy these days.
Licaxxx:I tend to wear tech outerwear at outdoor festivals and other sites. I don't go camping or anything like that, so I wear it at rainy sites and such, but I think it's very functional because it doesn't get soaked, leaving aside whether it's warm or not.
What did you think when you saw the Styles items for the first time?
Licaxxx:The selection of sneakers was also very good, and there were many of my favorite "Nike" sneakers, so I want to check it out more often. I was also surprised that there were so many clothes, and since they carry brands that I like, I think I'll be a regular customer (laughs).
