Traditional Japanese Beauty x Paris Spirit For Women Who Want Style and Originality
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. The design comes from Yumi Katsura’s dress which features a design from the same painting and is sold at Paris Fashion Week every year.
Yumi Katsura is also now selling a special ready-to-wear “Paris Coutour” collection on their website, with prices ranging from ¥50,000~¥200,000.

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.Information

The third kick of sneakers in the adidas Originals by Dragonball Z brand has been announced for a November 24 release. This ongoing sneaker line will see 8 different models appear throughout the rest of 2018 all based on three of the main hero x villain fights from the internationally beloved anime series. The first two releases in this collection were the Goku-inspired ZX 500 RM DB's and the Frieza-themed YUNG-1 DB's. The second two releases were the Gohan design DEERUPT RUNNER DB's and the Cell-coloured PROPHERE DB's.
The next two pairs fans can look forward to are the OREGON ULTRA TECH DB's and KAMANDA 01 DB's inspired by Vegeta and Majin Buu respectively. Vegeta (OREGON ULTRA TECH DB D97054): ¥20,000
Based on one of Dragon Ball's most memorable characters, the uppers on the OREGON ULTRA TECH DB's make use of blue and gold, a colour-combo reminiscent of Vegeta's battle suit. Embroidery is also used on the toe box to recreate his armour. His white gloves, boots and chest piece are portrayed through the white used on the outside of each shoe. Fans will also instantly recognise the iconic quote on the heel tab which reads "Over 9000!"Majin Buu (KAMANDA 01 DB D97055): ¥18,000 (Pre-Tax)
The KAMANDA 01 DB's are inspired by Majin Buu, the most powerful villain in Dragon Ball. The pink nubuck uppers feature the adidas Three Stripes but made in the image of the holes dotted around Buu's head and body. The heel patch includes the letter "M" written on it like on Buu's belt, and the outer-sole is wrapped in transparent rubber to recreate his pants. There are many little details and references to Buu, and there's also the golden KAMANDA logo. Have you been following this sneaker series? It's a must-have for fans of Dragon Ball. Which pair do you want the most?Information
