The July 2001 issue of Cool TRANS is all about summer street style. It features a massive showcase of hot summer items from popular brands at the time, like Stüssy, Revolver, HECTIC, and GDC. The main highlight is a special feature on “Summer Shoes” – covering everything from sneakers and sandals to leather shoes, complete with outfit examples and styling tips.
Another big feature is a complete guide to 200 summer T-shirts that you can still buy, with brand selection and price information included. The issue also has a unique street fashion snap section called “Styles with Rides,” where they capture stylish outfits against the backdrop of various vehicles. Plus, there’s a fashion editorial that reimagines 80s vintage fashion with a modern twist.
To add some cultural depth, the magazine includes roundtable discussions with cultural figures like Hiroshi Fujiwara and Tadayuki Naito, along with an interview with Aya Matsuura. This issue really captures the vibrant spirit of Japanese street fashion and culture from the early 2000s.
