How to wear date sneakers? How to coordinate with 7 fashionable people.

The shoe brand Date (D.A.T.E.) was founded in Florence, Italy, in 2005. With a unique style and identity, the shoes made from carefully selected materials are gradually gaining popularity. What would happen if a group of fashionable people who have a strong sense of fashion wore these sneakers, which are sporty yet luxurious at the same time? Here are style samples from seven people of different generations and titles.

Style 06:Yoshitaka Okamoto with SUPER NOVA MESH The insole is unique , a new feeling.

SUPER NOVA MESH WHITE ¥36,300

. Please tell us about your commitment to shoes.

. my choice is usually shoes with a simple design. I don't wear something that blends in with my clothes, or something that I have trouble coordinating. I usually work standing up, and I also run, so I try to choose shoes that are comfortable.

Do you think "DATE" will fit in with your particular needs?

Today I am wearing a model called "SUPER NOVA MESH" and it is very comfortable. The insole is unique , a new feeling. I felt it through my foot, and it has a good fit, which is comfortable. I don't seem to need to adjust the laces that much.

As the name suggests, "SUPER NOVA MESH" is made of a lot of mesh , which is highly breathable.

. maybe after a run or to go out somewhere. They have cushioning and are easy to walk in.

What did you have in mind for the coordination?

. I matched the atmosphere of the shoes. The overalls are an original design by "INN the people," which will be on sale soon. I like the authenticity of the design, spiced up with a playful street spirit. I am used to wearing running shoes, so the design of "SUPER NOVA MESH" fits in well. I'm in the mood for this kind of relaxed coordination these days.

Where would you go if you had to wear " DATE "?

They are sneakers that are mobile and easy to move in, but more than that, I feel that I will not get tired after experiencing the comfort of these shoes, so I would like to wear them at work or after a run.
