In addition, with the absence of another creator who had a major influence on the creative activities of “ULTRA HEAVY”, this collection also serves as a homage to Kamiyama’s friend. === Prologue I guess it will start in the spring of 2023. Time passed quickly after I told Ishikawa about Danner, Since the new year of 2024, I have been putting this project aside, but I have started to work on it. As the time I was unable to meet Ishikawa increased, my desire to somehow make it into something grew stronger, and I think it was around the beginning of summer? Even though they wanted to talk more to make up for the time they missed at Ishikawa’s house, the two of them kept talking. “But the design looks good,” I told him, and he laughed and said, “I’m looking forward to it because I left it to Kamiyama.” This smile is my treasure and I will never forget it… Since then, I’ve been feeling anxious, wondering if I can make a sample until the next time we meet, Up until now, I’ve been working on a lot of “ULTRA HEAVY”, but the person I wanted to show the most was “Ishikawa-san, who led me to UH” By the time it was finished, he had already climbed far into the sky. “Oh no, I wanted to ask him to do the styling for the shoot, but he’s a difficult person to deal with.” I still wanted to hear more from Ishikawa-san. Epilogue For me, this project was about one person heading towards the distant sky, So, when those two punks I liked were gone, I remembered how influenced I was by them, and I switched to expressing myself. Sandals by Akira Ishikawa, Danner Light by Jerry Ukai, I’m the postman. These three are ULTRA HEAVY. UH is comfortable both in the beginning and the end, it’s the best and the worst design. Thank you very much We Are Punks We Are ULTRA HEAVY ■ULTRA About HEAVY
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/74055/511/74055-511-a4afd10f3a566a4d752d389d0d8c589c-211×88.png ULTRA HEAVY is a unit made up of stylist Akira Ishikawa, art director Jerry Ukai, and artist Ryuji Kamiyama. With the motto “When in doubt, go heavy!”, they have attracted attention as a counter to UL culture with their sharp sensibility and sense for identifying the essence of things. “If you’re not sure, just bring a sofa or a desk!” This is one of our styles at the campsite, and it’s also the basic form of our life in Tokyo. So we, Kamiyama Ryuji, Jerry Ukai, and Ishikawa Akira, are proposing an “ULTRA HEAVY” indoor and outdoor style. “If you can’t decide, just wear your favorite T-shirt!” What is “Ultra Heavy”? It is not a sarcastic remark towards the trendy UL ultralight
fundamentalism, nor is it a counter punch to the latest outdoor gear. It is certainly not an endorsement of city life. I want to decide for myself. Do you feel like saying “I’m not Sid Vicious, leave me alone, idiot!?” Design pictures on a boring Tyvek sheet, lay them out with your doodles, and look at them. Prepare for emergencies. Just want to wear a cotton dress shirt to get dirty while working, or keep warm in a heavy wool coat. If you can’t love it because it’s dirty, you can paint it a nice color or silkscreen it to bring it back to life. If it feels good. That’s why it’s okay to make everything else lighter, and conversely, it’s okay to ruin the cutting edge. It’s just the right specs to be there. I mean heavy feelings.

In 1932, Charles Danner started making cheap work boots with five workers in Chippewa Falls and began his livelihood by selling them for $4 a pair. Charles Danner developed his business in Portland, Oregon. In 1959, he developed the first shoes in the United States using Vibram soles, and Backpacker magazine featured Danner’s Mountain Trail as the easiest boot to climb, making Danner a premier brand in the hiking industry. In 1979, Danner was the first shoe company to develop shoes using Gore-Tex, firmly establishing the Danner brand. The company’s stance of making lightweight, comfortable shoes, one by one, using carefully selected materials and painstakingly crafting them by hand, has not changed to this day. ■Company profile Company name: ABC-Mart Co., Ltd.
