PREORDER - MID-OCTOBER

Since its launch in the spring of 2004, the shoes and sneaker magazine SHOES MASTER has been published twice a year, at the end of March and September.

This issue, the 42nd in its series, features two major features: a special 20th anniversary feature, "Japanese Brand Sneakers" (Part 2), which features Japanese brands carefully selected from the perspective of a sneaker specialist magazine, and a report on Salomon's Annecy headquarters in France.

In addition, the magazine delivers the latest sneaker topics for fall and winter in a total of 260 pages.

Special 20th Anniversary Feature. Japanese Brand Sneakers Part 2

It is an undeniable fact that the sneaker scene has been driven by Western sports brands, and this trend is unlikely to change in the future. However, Japanese brands are not giving up.

The presence of Japanese brands in the sneaker scene is relatively increasing, and independent brands with original ideas that captivate freaks both at home and abroad are being born one after another from all over the country.

Shouldn't SHOES MASTER, a media outlet originating from Japan, pay more attention to Japanese brands? The feature "Japanese Brand Sneakers" started with that idea.

This feature will be delivered in two consecutive issues as a special project for the 20th anniversary of the launch of "SHOES MASTER". In this second part, we will feature Japanese brands carefully selected from the perspective of a sneaker specialist magazine.

How much do you know about "Salomon"?

We went to the headquarters in Annecy, France to find out the true nature of this brand, which is rapidly increasing its presence in the sneaker scene.

Through interviews with key people who direct design and development, and a look back at the classic shoes of the past, we will thoroughly report on Salomon's "past" and "future".
