Everyone loves a nice pair of kicks, and no one makes sneakers quite like Nike. For 50 years, sneakerheads have coveted everything the brand creates, and a new museum project is leading fans down memory lane. The first phase of this sneaker museum is now open at Hankyu Men’s Tokyo until April 7, 2022, and focuses on sneakers produced from 1972 until 1980.    A group of curators knowledgeable about various sneaker models and historical backgrounds have gathered to handpick items by era and theme, and guests are welcome to brush up on their shoe history. 2022 marks 50 years that Nike shoes have been manufactured in Japan, and this exhibition will take place for several months over several installments.  The first installment of the exhibition will highlight many different materials used to create Nike sneakers such as leather, suede, and nylon. Fans will also get to see shoes from different countries over the years! This is a rare opportunity, so please come and visit if you can!

Behind-the-Scenes

While the choreography for Nemohamo Rumor is incredibly complex and demanding, the members didn’t show a single sign of exhaustion or fatigue during shooting, instead happily chatting with each other and commenting on each other’s performance the entire time. As we checked the footage, we were incredibly impressed by how the shoes looked as they performed.

Whether at weddings, parties, or during a special occasion in their life, shoes are a fundamental part of an outfit for many women. Despite that, high heels often lead to pain for the wearer. Tanya Heath Paris is a brand that was launched by French designer Tanya Heath in 2009 which creates a unique line of shoes that have adjustable height and removable heels. This allows easy adaptability for the wearer, allowing them to change from a walking heel to a high heel with the simple click of a button. The initial design took a total of 3 years of research and development, 14 engineers, 3 shoe designers and technicians. The result was a product that has redefined the possibility of shoes. Tanya Heath Paris has taken its concept of supporting women being free to choose when they can be cute, sexy, powerful, and elegant to collaborated with Yumi Katsura to create a heel inspired by Hokusai's famous painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
