Graceful as a Crane's Dance
This collection is designed based on the running shoe "M/W890," which features the ultra-lightweight midsole material REV LITE. Models representing Tokyo, London, and Boston will each be available. The "890" series is a beloved model worldwide, touted as capable of meeting runners' needs regardless of country or language.
The first installment from the collection, the "M/W890 ORIDURU," will be released in March.
It features a unique design depicting the origami crane, one of Japan's most cherished symbols of good fortune. The crane motif was adopted from a concept to support runners challenging their goals, and to be gifted to those who overcome and face adversity.
The heel features a reflective origami crane mark, set against a bold, striking mint green design with shocking pink accents.
Of course, the exceptional comfort is ensured by the superior cushioning of the ultra-lightweight REV LITE, a hallmark of the "890" running shoe series supported by runners worldwide.
The "M/W890 ORIDURU" is scheduled for release on Saturday, March 2nd.
The London and Boston models will be released sequentially thereafter.
