SHOES MASTER Magazine Vol.43 2025 Spring/Summer Issue (on sale March 31st) Feature Summary

SHOES MASTER is a shoes and sneaker magazine that has been published twice a year, at the end of March and September, since its launch in the spring of 2004.
This issue, the 43rd, features Atmos, celebrating its 25th anniversary.
A special feature on the past, present and future of atmos, a brand that has been at the forefront of Japanese sneaker culture.
In addition, the 260-page magazine brings you the latest spring and summer sneaker topics, including new models from 32 brands carefully selected by the editorial department and exclusive models from 9 shops.

[Special Feature] Atmos's past and future as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Going back a quarter of a century, atmos opened in Harajuku, Tokyo in 2000 as a pioneer of suggestive sneaker select shops.
The store, with just 55 carefully selected pairs of sneakers lined up neatly on box shelves, resembled an art gallery and stood out from the cluttered parallel import stores around it.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Atmos. No one would have predicted back then that this small shop would later grow into one of Japan's leading sneaker stores.
The sneaker industry is a time of ups and downs.
It is no easy feat to maintain such support for as long as 25 years.
This time, we will focus on the past, present, and future of Atmos and delve into the essence of its appeal from three angles: the current state of store development in Japan and Southeast Asia, new products for spring 2025, and an archive of classic masterpieces.

[Special Feature] Working Shoes are Beautiful. Shoes for working people are beautiful.
These working shoes provide safety to protect your feet in dangerous work environments.
In recent years, they have become popular not only among field workers, but also among outdoor enthusiasts and bikers, and many people enjoy them as sneakers. We will introduce notable models from Asics, Mizuno, and Converse.
