Functionality x Japanese craftsmanship.
The reason why Onitsuka Tiger is loved around the world

"Onitsuka Tiger" is a Japanese-born fashion brand founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka in 1949. In addition to the development of basketball shoes and training shoes, it has steadily grown into a brand recognized worldwide. In the movie "Kill Bill" directed by Tarantino, released in 2003, the leading actress Uma Thurman was wearing Onitsuka Tiger in the play, accelerating the image as a fashion icon, and now it has explosive popularity around the world, mainly in Western Europe. As with Onitsuka Tiger Omotesando and Onitsuka Tiger Kobe, Sapporo PARCO's directly managed stores on the first floor offer a wide range of lineups, symbolizing the unique image of Onitsuka Tiger, which mixes the Orient and West, based on the concept of "Kokin East and West."

"X-CALIBER", which was born in the 1980s, has evolved.
The latest functionality realizes outstanding comfort.

Rachel and Mamiko wear the "X-CALIBER" series inspired by running shoes from the 1980s. It is a timeless pair featuring high-quality, soft suede fabric, bold color blocking with a nostalgic vintage feeling, and redesigned voluminous silhouette. The heel is equipped with a fuzeGEL with shock cushioning properties, making it a model that also has the latest functionality, such as the OrhoLite X-40 Nakashiki, which has excellent repulsion and comfortable comfort.
"Mami looks like a slow type, but in fact it's surprisingly fast to walk. I wonder if I'm running at top speed……I think (laughs). Anyway, "Don't bend the corner of the road ~" I'm desperate to keep up with me," Rachel told me a surprising aspect of Mamiko. "Yes, I like walking anyway. I also take a good walk. So the standard for choosing sneakers is easy to walk. The X-CALIBER is a slightly voluminous type, but when I put it on, it was surprisingly light and very easy to walk. I don't have a lot of color sneakers, but it's also very good with today's plain black pants. That's also a new discovery! It's going to be faster to walk (laughs)," says Mamiko.

It's been 10 years since I met him.
The story of chelmico that began with PARCO

The models focused on "Onitsuka Tiger" this fall and winter are the classic boots item "DELICITY" and "MOLLETY", which is a new interpretation of the thick bottom style. "DELICITY" and "MOLLETY" incorporate the latest technology unique to Onitsuka Tiger, and when worn, it features a variety of chunky soles that can complete the updated seasonal style. The MEXICO 66 SD is the latest model that has been reconstructed while inheriting the Aiko Nic elements of MEXICO 66, such as Onitsuka Tiger stripes, thin bottom style, and heel cross parts.

The story of the two chelmico is from Shibuya PARCO. The “Shibukull Festival” was held on the outdoor stage of Shibuya PARCO. In 2014, they sang only one piece of rap.
"Our first LIVE was Shibuya PARCO. We sang together on the outside stage. That's why I think it's a deep connection to work for PARCO, who has a lot of passion for it," says Rachel, and Mamiko continued to talk. "The first stage was so intense that I can't forget it. It was in 2013 that I met Rachel. In the summer of the following year, "Shibukar Festival." Formed chelmico. After making my major debut, I sang songs together with my favorite RIP SLYME who was influenced by a lot of influences in encore.……The fact that I was on the same stage as the one I longed for was an emotional event that I realized because I continued to do chelmico."

A good friend. Soulmate. Work partner.
What is the meaning of the two chelmico meeting?

The two of chelmico are great friends and soulmates. In addition, Rachel and Mamiko's lap duo are now attracting attention in the world. "The meaning that they met," which builds a rare relationship.
　
"It's true that I can't meet people who can have this kind of relationship. It's very helpful (laughs). I'm scared, but I'm not afraid of what I can't do with Mamiko. "All, it's okay!" I always think about it. They give me new opinions, ideas, and perspectives that I don't have. Also, when I can't do it, you get angry. "I think my voice is very loud now" (laughs). In that respect, it's very helpful. To describe Mamiko in a word, "MY Way". In the past, it used to be my own pace, but now I feel like I'm going on my way," says Rachel.

"If I hadn't been invited by Rachel, I didn't play music. I wonder if it's really big. I have a lot of things that I think are interesting because I have the opposite personality. Also, Rachel is the type that acts rather than thinking. I had so much ability to act, so I had a lot of people pulling it. They are making up for what they don't have.……That's why I'm very happy to have chelmico. The bright and pop character of Rachel is also the music of chelmico. To express Rachel's character in words, it's "obedient" and "MY WAY". The emotions come out honestly and it's very cute (laughs)." (Mamiko)
