KINJI’S GREAT GROSS #19 Release Announcement
This film documents the very first “club activity” held at The Arkeos Club Ginza on April 26, 2025.
It features a special talk event between two legends who share a deep passion for Alden:
Mr. Takamasa Chiwaki, former president and now senior advisor of Kotahouse, and Kinji Teramoto, representative of 35SUMMERS and designer of ANATOMICA.
They spoke candidly about the timeless appeal of the iconic 990 and the Modified Last, Alden’s unique connection with ANATOMICA, anecdotes surrounding its lasts, shoe-care knowledge, and the beauty of aging over time.
Coincidentally, the day also marked the 81st birthday of ANATOMICA’s director, Pierre Fournier. Through history, craftsmanship, and personal memory, the discussion unraveled the true meaning of “wearing Alden.”
This permanent record captures not only the depth of Alden’s legacy but also the atmosphere of The Arkeos Club Ginza as a “place of transmission.” We invite you to experience it.
