Sneakers that go well with vintage clothing. BED j.w. FORD and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro have collaborated for the second time.

Shinpei Yamagishi is working on [Joon's articleBED j.w. FORDand Yasuhiro Mihara'sMaison MIHARA YASUHIROThe two brands have one thing in common: they are both Japanese designers' collection brands. The two brands, which share the common denominator of being "a collection brand by a Japanese designer," have announced their second collaboration. Please take a look at the two vintage-inspired models, which differ in atmosphere from the chic leather shoes of the first collaboration.

BLAKEY SUEDE HIGH-TOP SNEAKER ¥49,500

HANK SUEDE LOW-TOP SNEAKER ¥47,300

The models selected from the "ORIGINAL SOLE SNEAKERS" footwear series by "Maison Mihara Yasuhiro" have a high approval rating. Both models use a gray suede material for the uppers, and have been treated to give them a worn-in look.

The "BLAKEY SUEDE HIGH-TOP SNEAKER" has a tighter form with the sponge removed from the opening to create a contrast with the voluminous sole. Personally, I like to wear them with worn-in jeans.

The suede fabric backing of the HANK SUEDE LOW-TOP SNEAKER is interspersed with canvas material to create a different textural movement than the high cut. The toe cap's rubber is partly blue and light.

In a good sense, it does not have the new look characteristic of the current model, and blends in with vintage items without any sense of discomfort. The sale will start on April 22 (Sat.), so be sure to get in early.
