This is Shibata , a resident on one of the upper floors. The signs of summer are becoming more pronounced.

Summer is the season when you can see many "kneecap enthusiasts" of various styles roaming the streets.
Ladies and gentlemen with beautiful knees, be extra careful to avoid unexpected injuries! (lol)

Now, back to the main topic.

Basically, shorts that show your knees are comfortable, cool, and just the best!
But that means you have to pay a little attention to your tops and shoes...

So today, I'd like to introduce some amazing items that will elevate the look of your existing shoes.


↑These are all my personal belongings, but can you see that I've added some stylish accessories?

Commonly known as “ARAI 3 Brothers”

This is a piece by Takafumi Arai, and I was finally able to purchase it at the last Isetan event...
There are only a few stores in Tokyo that carry this item, so if you're interested, don't miss out!

In particular, this all-black version, which was available when the brand first launched, is making a comeback at this event, but only by order!


The right foot has a short type and the left foot has a long type, but I intentionally wore them asymmetrically.
Don't you think it has a really nice atmosphere?

I believe you can also order an all-white version! That one looks really cool too!
*I've heard that they also have an all-brown version.


Also, the popular tassel type looks great paired with high-tech sneakers like this!

Furthermore, since every piece is unique, the joy of choosing is exceptional.
Most people end up being very indecisive in the end... and many leave it up to Arai's choice.

Speaking of summer outfits...
This one is from my absolute favorite, Captain Sunshine.
These are typical retro sunglasses, but when designer Kojima's sensibilities are added...!



And just like that, it transforms into this! (lol)
This is a collaboration with Kaneko Optical, and apparently it's now a "rare character."

I love them so much, I really hope they'll make a comeback someday... (I desperately want it)
It has become an indispensable companion and a summer essential.


Next time, we'll be introducing a T-shirt that's highly praised by "kneecap enthusiasts."
Okay then!
