Kojima-san, what was your impression of "Autry" sneakers when you saw them for the first time?
Kojima:While ATMOS carries a large selection of sneakers from sports brands, we also carry fashion shoe brands, and we are especially careful to check out brands that are making their first appearance in Japan. I had a chance to meet "Autry" through a chance encounter, and I was very impressed with its use of high-quality materials. I was very impressed by the use of high quality materials, and I was interested in the luxurious look and mood of the brand.
So it was more of a "fashion" than a sport.

Kojima:Yes, it is. . but of course I also had the impression that it was sporty. I thought the balance between the two was excellent.
Did you find any overlap with the recent sneaker trend?
Kojima:Among the various types of products available, nowadays, there are a great many people who are looking for high quality products. People are becoming more discerning. In the past, sneakers priced in the 10,000s yen range sold well, but nowadays, sneakers priced in the 20,000s yen range are the norm. It is natural to look for a balance between design and quality, and more and more people are making decisions based on price.
I guess that means that the customers' eyes are becoming more and more critical.

Kojima:Yes, I agree. Even in this aspect, "Autry" is very well-balanced. You can tell by the quality of the products when you touch them. There is a quality that you cannot see just by looking at pictures on the Internet or social networking sites. I also wear "Medalist" sneakers on a regular basis, and they are made of calf leather, which is soft and comfortable for the feet. They are not the most affordable sneakers, but I feel that the quality is definitely worth the price. There is absolutely no compromise in the quality of the workmanship.

Kojima:Also, leather was chosen for the lining, and the toes are made of pile for a soft feel. . I was also impressed by the attention to detail in the parts that are not visible.
How about the design?

Kojima:They are very authentic and easy to match. The use of luxurious materials could have been designed in that direction, but it was not done. I think the charm lies in the fact that we subtract without adding. Also, the sole is original.

Autry" was born in the United States. The sole of the new "Reel Wind" is decorated with a star-shaped design inspired by the Stars and Stripes.

On the other hand, the outsole is designed to resemble the initial "A" of the brand.
Some brands use original uppers and existing soles.
Kojima:Another important point is that the sole is made from our original materials. They are also very light and easy to wear.
How is the response to the product in stores?
Kojima:It's very good. . it is still popular among those who want something better. Also, it is popular among inbound customers and women.
And for women, too?
Kojima:Women's models are really doing well. Sneakers are also getting a lot of fire from women these days; 20 years ago that wasn't the case, but nowadays one of the trends is that it's coming from women.

Autry" was originally born in the U.S. in the 80s, and after a period of dormancy in the 90s, it was revived in 2019. Behind this revival was rebranding, and it is said that members who were active in the high-brand business moved "Autry" into action. Is such a change in the brand also a factor in its current popularity?
Kojima:. I think that's true, of course. I think that's why "Autry" sneakers have a luxurious mood. I would say that authentic American design is combined with European sophistication. It's a beautiful fusion of the two, and the characteristics of both are well expressed.
What are your expectations for "Autry" in the future?

Kojima:. I would like to see you keep the current brand image firmly in place while, on the other hand, constantly proposing new models. This season, the "Reel Window" and "CLC" models have been added, and by doing so, the breadth of the brand will be broadened. . This means that there will be more points at which we can compete. Running shoes are strong at the moment, but when trends change, it is a relief to have models that can respond to the changes. . So I think it is a good thing to have more categories like this. Moreover, the brand is using premium materials and expressing the characteristics of the brand. As long as such colors are properly promoted, I think they will take root in the market.
