NIKE Harajuku

Comprehensive Services for a Comfortable Running Life



NIKE Harajuku spans three floors. The "RUNNER’S STUDIO," which offers extensive services and content for runners, is located on the first floor. A standout feature is the introduction of "Gait Analysis," which allows for the assessment of running form. This system uses a high-speed camera to capture the runner's foot strike during motion, enabling them to check their condition. This allows runners to find the perfect pair of shoes while actually running. In addition to products, services are also abundant to provide a more comfortable running life, such as experiencing "Nike+" (Nike Plus), which connects runners worldwide. Furthermore, the "NIKE RUNNING CLUB," a running seminar held four days a week for different levels from beginners to advanced runners, is also popular. Weekday evening runs are available after work, and early morning runs are held on weekends to start the day refreshingly. The program involves running in Yoyogi Park tailored to individual levels.



Spring Coordination for Skirt-Loving Runners



The spring running style recommended by NIKE Flagship Store Harajuku features refreshing looks incorporating colors like green and orange. Styles that include dresses or skirts, which can cover the hip line, are particularly popular. "It's not just about functionality, but above all, I want to run in style!" This lineup is designed to capture the hearts of such stylish runners.
