So, Puma Palermo .
FOR ALL GEEKS vol.2

So, Puma Palermo .

In the late 1970s, the "terrace style," as it was called, was popularized throughout Europe by the enthusiastic football fans who frequented the standing-room-only terraces of soccer stadiums and wore sportswear. PUMA's "Palermo" was favored as the footwear of choice. The "Palermo Vintage" is a vintage version of this masterpiece. This model is a pair that should be worn by geeks, people who "have a strong passion for something and enjoy it with pride," just like passionate football fans. We will show you what these geeks love and what makes Palermo Vintage so appealing.

I'm excited to play something I've never seen before.

-What kind of image do you have of PUMA?

I used to wear "suede," and I also used to wear "Puma" spikes in soccer. So I have a strong image of shoes.

-The color of "Palermo Vintage" was worn by Jade Frost .

It's an unusual shade. If it were closer to a primary color, it would be hard to wear, but the vintage look of the color makes it easy to wear. They are easy to match with track jerseys because of their football origins, and they look good with denim.

-He said that he is a fan of "Manchester City FC" and that the uniforms he was allowed to use for the photo shoot were almost all his personal belongings.

I have a lot of Manchester City FC uniforms, of course, but I think I have quite a lot of other merchandise as well. When I look at the uniforms, it brings back memories of that period, that player, etc. I think it is similar to CDs.

-What attracted you to "Manchester City FC"?

I've only been supporting the team for about 7 or 8 years, but it's interesting to see that every year there are new strategies that I've never seen before, both in attack and defense. I'm still happy to see Pep (Josep Guardiola) come to the team and have so many exciting games at a very high level. . It's really amazing that we have a great group of players and that we are able to reproduce the same plays even if someone is missing.

-Have you ever watched the games there?

I went last April! . against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City FC. . I know this may sound a bit clichéd, but watching a game live is totally different. I can't express it well with words, but watching it live is 100% better. The game was a great game, we got a goal ahead, but we turned the game around. From that point on, the season went right uphill, and I think that day was an important turning point in the season.

-I hear that you watch every game without fail during the season.

Soccer games are generally on weekends, and because of the time difference, they are usually broadcast in the middle of the night. I often can't watch the games live because they are broadcast live, but if it's an important game, I block out the information and look forward to it when I get home. It is the happiest way to spend my weekends.
