To say we’re a fan of sweet kicks would be an understatement, so we felt compelled to heed the call of “Sneaker Lovers Unite!” when we heard about the Sneaker Lover Pop-Up Shop being held at the Laforet store in the Harajuku section of Tokyo from April 21st to May 6th. While we didn’t immediately book a flight to Tokyo to check it out for ourselves we decided we’d do the next best thing and let you, the readers know about the sensational sneaker display. The store is a promotion being held by the KIKSTYO International Web Shop decorated with images of famed Japanese bikini pinup Aki Hoshino in sultry poses with sneakers as photographed by YONE. The shop itself will be selling exclusive collaborations with well known brands such as Champion, New Balance, and G-Shock, along with limited edition T-shirt with one of Yone’s aforementioned images of the bikini clad bombshell. If you find yourself in Tokyo, we recommend wandering over to the Sneaker Lover Pop Up Shop and show your love for your favorite fancy footwear…and if you’re so compelled pick us up a pair of something nice.
