Shuntaro Taka x ISSEY MIYAKE SHIBUYA/RED WING SHOE STORE | A spirit that entrusts freedom without being bound by existing frameworks

The memories of junior high school come back
A pair of fate that you want to keep wearing even when you grow up.

Mr. Shuntaro Taka went to RED WING, who has been thinking about since he was a student. Born in Minnesota in 1905, it was established as American shoes in Japan in the '70s. It has been loved for many years with high-quality work boots. Mr. Taka met a pair of boots that he had handed over from his senior in junior high school. "From that time, it has been said that it's cool to wear Timberland or RED WING locally. I was definitely a RED WING group. As an adult, I want to wear it even more, and in the future I want to give it to my son (laughs)." My favorite is the #875 6-inch classic mock. There are many repeaters and it's the most popular pair.

From the beginning to the end
I want to share my life RED WING

The interior of the store reflects the atmosphere of Minnesota at the time when it was born in the United States. Seasonal boots are displayed together with straw, creating a "country feeling" in a good sense that makes you feel relieved somewhere in the middle of the city. The next thing he is aiming for is the red-brown 6 "CLASSIC MOC." "When you wear it, it's usually denim, but work pants are also good. It started with the red wing, so I want to finish with the red wing. Isn't it really cool to be a grandpa?'

It is a platform for young people.
Shibuya, a city where new culture is born.

Shibuya is a memorable city for Mr. Taka. "It's always an image of a place where a new culture is born. When I was young, I used to hang out in front of TSUTAYA, go to clubs, and play well. Shibuya PARCO has also come many times for shopping and events. That kind of platform is always important." He recalls that he was often influenced by movies and music since he was a student. "We had a lot of influence on Rolling Stones. There were times when I longed for Guns and played bandanas on Ron hair (laughs). THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT and BLANKEY JET CITY have recently been listening to it again. The energy from the songs I used to listen to in the past. I'm going to get back the energy of that time." He says that music that has come through all genres, such as grungy rock, punk, is still the same. The work boots and music that I longed for when I was young are still hot in him.

You don't have to think you're good.
Aiming to be an interesting actor with different angles

He has reached the age of 30, and has been appearing in topical works as a tasteful actor. I can't imagine it from the calm appearance, but it was said that until I entered this industry, it was extremely upright. "I was a child whose face turned red just by being asked by a teacher during class. It's a kind of standout, but it's a tense type. At the kindergarten play party, I ran for the role of acting as a pair with a girl, but when it came to production, I was nervous and I couldn't move. After all, I was pulled by a girl and went to the stage (laughs). I was not good at photography, and at the time of my debut, I couldn't speak a word at the scene." Analyzes that it has changed naturally through repeated experience. What kind of actors will you aim for in the future? "I always want to be fresh, so I'm conscious of getting a sense of discomfort somewhere. You don't have to think it's good, and you want to be a guy who seems to do interesting things."
