Focus on the Slim, Smart Fit Tailored to Women's Bodies and Forms
Style and function. Meditation and exertion. Yin and yang.—High-performance running gear "GYAKUSOUINTERNATIONAL RUNNING ASSOCIATION," where Nike's technical innovation harmonizes with cutting-edge style and traditional craftsmanship.
The women's collection, launched for the first time this season, features designs that consider women's forms and sensibilities. For example, the convertible skirt employs unique pleating to achieve the freedom of movement that female runners desire.
Furthermore, pleats and gathers at the shoulders, chest, and hips create space for movement while achieving a slim, smart finish tailored to women's bodies and forms.
"NIKE × UNDERCOVER GYAKUSOU" collection's key factor, color, is presented in the women's collection with appealing palettes that achieve both strength and naturalness, such as peat moss, olive khaki, dark obsidian, and midnight fog. These colors are also used in the coordinating footwear, Nike Zoom Elite+, for the collection.
Takahashi, also an avid member of "TEAM GIRA," a small running group based in Tokyo, draws inspiration for the GYAKUSOUcollection from his own running, which is both a time for meditation and an adrenaline rush.
