Brooks Eclecticism.

To run comfortably, shoes are important. In addition to comfort, you also want to choose the right color and design, and which brand to choose is also an issue to be considered. There are many choices, but how about Brooks? This long-established brand boasts overwhelming popularity in the U.S., but to be honest, it cannot be said that it is worn by a high percentage of runners in Japan. However, support from gearaholic runners is strong, and three well-known members of the Huinamu team also use the brand. We asked them to wear the latest model, "Glycerin MAX," and talked about all kinds of things about it.

This is what attracted me to [Brooks].

-I digress to an interesting topic, but let's get back to it. Mr. Ukai said that he usually wears "Ghost MAX".

Cormorant: I did a lot of research, and after serious consideration, I came up with these. I can't say for sure because I haven't compared them with many shoes, but the fact that I've been wearing them for so long means that they must be right for me.

-Makino-san is also a "ghost max.

Makino: I like the comfort of the shoes, of course, but I also like the unexpectedness of Brooks' all-black shoes. There are models in other brands that have a strong all-black image, but it would be boring if they were the same as everyone else's, and the fact that no one around me wears Brooks' all-black shoes was a big part of the reason I bought them.

-Mr. Yamamoto's favorite Brooks brand is "Ghost 15.

Yamamoto: Brooks" has a lot of standard color variations, but I like that they occasionally release seasonal colors with limited-edition donut patterns or designs that are not part of the brand's image.

Cormorant: I wonder what kind of meetings they are having (laughs).

Yamamoto: I'm curious (laughs). Brooks" has an honest image, but I think it is a brand with a sense of humor as well.

-I see that you have another pair of Brooks.

Cormorant: This is the "Aurora" that I wear during races. I don't often buy shoes like this because I like authentic designs, but I like this one because it's a very exciting design.

-Why are you making it for racing?

Cormorant: I am not an athlete, so as I mentioned earlier, I consider my daily jogging to be the real work, and the race is like a festival. It's fun to see friends after a long time, isn't it? That's why I wear shoes that make me feel happy and excited when I wear them.

Yamamoto: The upper is transparent and spacy. It's experimental and nice.

Cormorant: It looks like they were designed by a development team called "Blue Line" at Brooks. When I wear these, I enjoy running.
*"Blue Line" is an innovation team that creates innovative technologies.
