7 Styles with D.A.T.E.

How to wear date sneakers? How to coordinate with 7 fashionable people.

The shoe brand Date (D.A.T.E.) was founded in Florence, Italy, in 2005. With a unique style and identity, the shoes made from carefully selected materials are gradually gaining popularity. What would happen if a group of fashionable people who have a strong sense of fashion wore these sneakers, which are sporty yet luxurious at the same time? Here are style samples from seven people of different generations and titles.

Ida-san, what kind of shoes have you been wearing recently?

I'm in the mood for something with volume. Because of my occupation, I try on shoes from various brands, but I don't really feel comfortable in slim-fitting ones. Lately, I tend to wear flared pants or other bottoms with cushioned hems, and voluminous sneakers like the ones from "DATE" go well with them.

I would say that the footwear makes a strong statement as well.

That's right. While the silhouette is distinctive, the design is very authentic and can be easily coordinated with any outfit. The balance is just right. Also, these shoes make me look more stylish.

The outsole is thicker, which may be an effect of the thicker sole.

It is better to add volume to the top or to change the silhouette and length by wearing bottoms one or two sizes larger than usual, which relaxes the power in a good sense and creates a more modern fashion. In such cases, I feel that the overall balance of the outfit is maintained when I wear "Date".

Please tell us about the key points of your outfits.

Recently, I have been in the mood to mix and match various elements, such as wearing a tie. I use a wide range of materials, from leather-like materials to casual denim, as well as jackets that have a beautiful element to them. The design is emphasized and the fashion is established when the outline is determined all the way down to the toes. I think this is the charm of "date" shoes.
