Sneakers are an essential part of any wardrobe. What kind of pair does your idol choose?
In this feature, we snap fashion industry figures wearing REACH sneakers from hummel, the Danish lifestyle sports brand known for its simple, clean, Scandinavian design!
In our fifth installment, we snapped Arai Maru, CEO of maru styling office. We asked him about his favorite features and his own styling tips.
Maru Arai and Hummel
“We want to cherish the encounters we have with the things we wear”
On this day, she paired a simple white dress with light-colored "Reach" jeans for a clean, neutral look. 
Hummel "REACH LX 300" (8,000 yen) Sizes: 22.5-28.0cm, UnisexHummel's newly developed "REACH" sneakers are platform sneakers that feature a functional sole developed in European handball, making them suitable for everyday use. The "REACH" sneakers were born as a result of the dreams of many teams and players who dreamed of becoming the best in the world.
Arai grew up with illustrator parents and developed a strong interest in art from an early age. Her aggressive upbringing likely influenced her style, as she traveled around the world during her university days, visiting museums and art spots.
When asked about Arai's simple yet captivating style, she said, "The ring I wear, even when I sleep or take a bath, is by glass artist Emi Hirose. I often choose items from artists that I'll cherish for a long time, hoping to support them in some way. I also love visiting flea markets and antique shops when I travel. I cherish those chance encounters." Hummel's new "Reach" sneakers are one such encounter.
These sneakers are lighter than you'd expect from their appearance, and anyone who wears them will likely be surprised. The comfortable cushioning is addictive, so check them out as not only an everyday sneaker, but also a pair to choose when the day comes when you can travel without hesitation.
Details about the shoes and an interview with Maru Arai are now available on the Hummel website!
