What is the appeal of sneakers with Gore-Tex® fabrics?
Huynem: There were many models with Gore-Tex fabrics this time.
Kojima:It was not a conscious decision, but it turned out that way. In fact, regardless of brand, sneakers with GORE-TEX® fabrics are very popular at ATMOS.
Huynem: Why are Gore-Tex Fabric-equipped models so popular?
Kojima: I think this is because Gore-Tex itself is recognized as a "brand" and its value and functionality are highly valued. If it has this tag on it, there is no doubt about it.
Huynem: Indeed. It's a sign of trust. There is a sense of absolute security.
Kojima: Actually, I am a Gore-Tex believer myself. I have a lot of shoes and clothing with GORE-TEX® fabrics.
Huynh Nam: In fact, Gore-Tex is suitable for Japan's rainy climate.
Kojima:No doubt about it. I don't like to point an umbrella, and I always carry a Gore-Tex jacket in my bag.
Huynem: By the way, have there been any new developments at "atmos" recently?
Kojima: On October 31, the Harajuku store will fully reopen. What I would like to draw your attention to is the interior.
Huynem: This interior may be .......
Kojima: We have recreated the interior of ATMOS as it was when it opened 24 years ago in 2000.
Huynh Nam: Oh, I knew it. The concept of a boutique that offers suggestions for sneakers, and the display method of neatly arranging carefully selected sneakers on box shelves is commonplace today, but at the time it was groundbreaking.
Kojima:That brings back memories. 2000 was also the year I joined the company.
Huynam: I mean, it's been 24 years already. ...... The months go by so fast.
Kojima: And next year will be the 25th anniversary year for ATMOS. We will be preparing a variety of commemorative models and events, so please look forward to them.
