It’s safe to say that within the sneaker-sphere, last week we met one of their real life Gods, Shigeyuki Mitsui. He has spent the last 30 years working with ASICS to create some incredible sneakers, the most groundbreaking of which completely smashed the notion of compromising on comfort or style when it came to footwear. In the early 90s Mitsui sat at his desk in Japan and worked on what would be one of the most popular sneakers in history, the Gel-Lyte III.

The Japanese designer Fumito Ganryu, who debuted in his day by doing Junya Watanabe’s patterns for Comme des Garçons, launched his own brand Ganryu under CDG in 2007 to, finally in 2018, launch his independent brand Fumito Ganryu, which he defines as conceptual clothing for the 21st century.

Parley is known to be a voice for the ocean and an organization that believes in standing up for it in order to keep it the clean and beautiful treasure that it is.
