PUMA x TAKEO KIKUCHI "Court Star"

Puma's tennis line, "Court Star," are all-white leather sneakers reminiscent of classic tennis shoes. The base is the "Court," a tennis shoe released from the 1970s to the 1980s, and a classic model of court shoes that spawned derivative models such as the "Hard Court," favored by tennis players of yesteryear, and the velcro-type "First Court Super."

The 30th anniversary model for the brand's establishment is an exclusive "Made in JAPAN" item. The upper is made of pure white smooth leather, with classic perforated Puma lines on the side. The embossed leather on the heel uses the original embossed mesh leather, a standard material for TAKEO KIKUCHI's leather products, and the inside of the tongue features a serial number. Silver aglets (lace tips) add a touch of luxury.

Hakusan Megane x TAKEO KIKUCHI "Collaboration Eyewear"

This 30th-anniversary collaboration with Hakusan Megane was realized because Creative Director Takeo Kikuchi himself is a long-time wearer.

The collection features three models: the "ROUND CLASSIC," a standard Hakusan Megane model that Kikuchi favors; the larger round-shaped "ROUND AMPLE"; and the Wellington-shaped "GLAM REC," which is substantial yet easy to wear with its thick frame. All were selected by Kikuchi, and the TAKEO KIKUCHI brand name and bowler hat icon are engraved on the frames.
