Comments from Tomoyan
I have two main thoughts about &RSON. The first is that I want to create a culture where people can wear basketball wear in a more fashionable way. I think basketball is one of the most fashionable sports, and of course, since it’s a sport, there are things like winning and losing, but I want people to enjoy basketball and cool basketball fashion, and I want to increase the number of people who do so. The second reason is that I want to share my idea that “everyone can have a dream” with many people and encourage them to do so. I think there are many people in the world who want to have their own brand in the future, but most people think it’s impossible and give up. However, by actually taking action and making my own dream come true, I was able to realize that nothing is impossible.Any one can do it if they try. I want to help as many people as possible understand that. I hope that the number of people who are able to challenge and realize their dreams and live happily will increase as a result of seeing the growth of &RSON and me.
