The Broken Arm x Salomon XT-Quest 2 "Texas"
The balance between masculine and inert.
I believe that sneakers are an item filled with romance and dreams, so I am attracted to flashy designs rather than simple ones. . However, they are also gear for walking, so functionality is also important. The sneakers that fit perfectly with my view of sneakers are the collaboration model between the Parisian boutique "The Broken Arm" and "Salomon". The Dalmatian pattern on the chunky form of the hiking shoes caught me by surprise. I was struck by the unexpectedness of this design. It has just the right blend of masculinity and inertness, and while it has impact, it goes great with the sweatpants and nylon pants I often wear. I simply respect the sense of being half a step ahead, neither too early nor in the middle of the trend. I could eat two bowls of white rice just talking about these sneakers.

GALLERY DEPT. × ASICS GT-2160
The brand's philosophy is expressed in sneakers.
Gallery Dept. is a brand known for its unique approach to making one-of-a-kind items by deconstructing vintage clothing. The brand is known for its unique manufacturing process of dismantling old clothes and turning them into one-of-a-kind items. I met them when I was buying in LA and fell in love at first sight with their extremely stylish designs. We negotiated on the spot to purchase their products, and we have been carrying them at Whism since 2018. These shoes, a collaboration between "Gallery Dept." and "ASICS," are painted by hand one by one. The paint is concentrated on the toes, which is full of "Gallery Dept. I am guessing that the paint was applied while the pants were on. I haven't worn "ASICS" shoes since I used them as gym shoes for basketball when I was in the first grade of junior high school, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to wear them as a fashion item!
