[Reprinted Edition] Lightning Archives AGING OF BOOTS

[Machine Translation] This book is brand new, not used. This book is a collection of boots from all over Japan that have undergone beautiful changes over the years, and have been worn without regard to the "immaturity period" of the boots, and have advanced to the next level. The word "beautiful" in this book does not simply mean "beautiful. Of course, boots that have been carefully polished are beautiful, but we also call boots that have been used by workers and bikers who have spared no time to care for them, and have rough wrinkles, wrinkles, and scratches on them "beautiful". The beauty of boot aging lies in the "bond" between the wearer and the boots that truly "support" the lifestyle of the wearer, which is a "bond" built in a tripod. The crystallization of this bond is the aging process, and it is precisely because the lifestyle of the wearer is transmitted to the boots that they emit an indescribable colorful fragrance.

※本書籍は新品です。中古品ではありません "ブーツの未成熟期間"をものともせずに履き込み、その先の領域へと駒を進めた、美しい経年変化を遂げたブーツを全国から集め紹介します。この本で言う"美しい"とは、単に"綺麗"という意味ではありません。もちろん、丹念に磨き上げられたブーツも美しいですが、手入れする時間すら惜しむかのようにワーカーやバイカーに酷使され、荒々しいシボや皺、傷の走ったブーツも我々は“美しい"と表現します。ブーツ・エイジングの美しさ、それは、着用者と、着用者のライフスタイルを真の意味で「下支え」するブーツとが、それこそ二人三脚で築き上げた「絆」にこそあります。その結晶がエイジングであり、着用者の生き様がブーツに伝播するからこそ、そのブーツからえも言われぬ色香が発されるのです。
