GORP CORE 05
NORDA
A must-see newcomer for all the celestials.
When it comes to high-tech shoes, Salomon and Hokaoneone are popular, but they have become too popular and I was getting a little tired of them.... When I was looking for something new, I found "Norda," which was established in 2021. It seems to be the first brand in the world to incorporate Dyneema ®︎ fiber, which is said to be the lightest and strongest material available, into treerunning shoes, and while the upper is minimalist, the tire-shaped volume sole is fashionable. The brand has collaborated with the running brand "Satisfy" and is slowly gaining popularity overseas. They haven't landed in Japan yet, and I haven't seen anyone wearing them around me yet.

VEILANCE
Not like a bag, but like a belt.
I think that Vaillance is indispensable to the theme of this exhibition. I also use this Monado waist bag on a regular basis. It's just a little too big to hold my phone and cigarettes, so what about its practicality? (laugh) But I wanted to wear it over my outerwear to create a tight waistband style, and this was the best choice after searching for a variety of styles. It goes well with wool jackets, and thanks to the unique material of GORE-TEX Pro, just one pair of these will completely change the mood of your outfit.

SALOMON
Y2K's unique to-match design.
I often see people wearing "Salomon" sneakers, but I almost never see people wearing "Salomon" clothes (laughs). (Laughs) I found these at a jig in Sanrikuchaya. Of course, I think it is rooted in the functionality of performance wear, but the way the logo is placed, the use of tape around the collar, and the transitions that make you think, "Why is it in here? I like the way the techwear of the 2000s was over-designed in every single way. The trend toward minimalism makes the products of that era look even fresher. You can find many interesting items from this era that fit the current mood, and they are reasonably priced, so I recommend them.
