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.

What do you think of the "Date" sneakers?

The shoes look very Italian or fashionable.

Italian shoes, as a whole, seem to have a certain elegance to them.

That may be so. Shoes of luxury brands are often made in Italy, and I can't say that all of them are the same, but I feel an elegant mood peculiar to Italy in "Date" as well. I think that this is the kind of sneakers that people who are tired of sports brand shoes would like to wear next. The design is easy to match, and just by wearing these shoes, your feet will look stylish. They are such an item.

What did you think about the coordination?

I matched it with my usual outfit. I didn't have to think about anything difficult, and it went easily with the clothes I had on hand. I picked up the beige gradation in the shoes and put them together with brown items. I was just in the middle of making brown clothes for Sandwater, for which I am the designer.

Are you in the mood for brown?

Maybe I'm just in the mood for this kind of color. I never used to wear them at all, but I started trying them the winter before last, and I got the feeling that they were quite good. It may have an earthy image, but it feels surprisingly comfortable when worn over and under denim or chinos. Also, maybe the elegant atmosphere of "Date" makes brown look classy.

Do you have any places you would like to go or things you would like to do while wearing the "Date" brand?

I want to get on my bicycle and go somewhere. It's spring and it's about to be a pleasant season.
