- What kind of sneakers do you wear most often on a daily basis? What are your favorite sneaker trends?

I like classic low tech sneakers. For me, sneakers are not a special fashion item, but something that I take for granted in my daily life. Low-tech sneakers fit in with any style and gently blend into everyday life.

- Last year, you collaborated with "adidas Originals" to release sneakers, right? You released a total of five models in different models and colors. Which one do you particularly like?

CAMPUS 00s HIKARI SHIBATA (on sale in 2023)

I have feelings for all of them, but I wear the brown "CAMPUS 00s" most often. The texture and color of the suede are great, and the more I wear them, the more I love them. I hear that these are the most popular with customers.

- What do you think is the appeal of "adidas Originals"?

This overlaps with my favorite sneakers, but they should be easy to fit into everyday life. They are not too sporty, but in a good sense they are relaxed, and when I wear them, I feel relaxed and natural. Adidas Originals" are like that for me.

- Today you wore the "low suit" in the "atmos" limited edition color.

My first impression was that it was just the way I like it. I like the chic colors of the dark browns and greens, the nerdy atmosphere, and the fact that it is both classic and modern at the same time. I think the right balance between the two is just right. Also, the CORDURA tag is a nice accent.

- How did you feel when you put your foot through it?

. I felt softness the moment I put them on. The upper has a sense of volume , and my feet feel gently wrapped around them. It makes me want to take my time and let my feet get accustomed to them.

How do you wear low suits?
Mr. Shibata's case

I wanted to make the "low suit" the star of the coordination, so I kept the clothes monotone and basic. I wore an oversized knit and thick knit pants underneath. Since there is a lot of volume at the feet, I think it will go well with an A-line look.
