Glycerin MAX" makes you want to run everywhere.
-This time, we gave you the latest model "Glycerin MAX" in advance so that you could actually run in it.
Makino: I have been wearing "Glycerin" since the previous model, but the sole has become thicker. I felt that it was different from the previous "Brooks" models.
-The latest cushioning foam called "DNA Tuned" is used, with a thickness of 39mm at the forefoot and 45mm at the heel, making it the thickest sole in Brooks' history.
Makino: With such thickness, I had high expectations from the outside. The "Ghost MAX" has a thick sole and is easy to wear, but I found the "Glycerin MAX" to be even more comfortable the moment I put my foot in it. And despite their appearance, they are very lightweight. I think people who wear only lifestyle sneakers will be surprised.
Yamamoto: When I actually ran in them, they were as cushioned and stable as they looked.
Cormorant: I didn't have shoes with a curved structure, so it felt good to move forward. I thought to myself, "Wow, everyone is wearing such good shoes!
Yamamoto: The curve structure was so effective that it was a front end. DNA Tuned" and its thickness are innovative, and I think this model embodies the future of "Brooks. I heard that it sold out immediately after its release, and it seems to have been accepted in the fashion world.
Makino: I think they go really well with shorts. With a slightly warped toe and thick sole. I think this form would go well with thick cut-off chino shorts or something. Like the way Mr. Yamamoto looks today, it's really cool.
Cormorant: Yes, I know. It fits a little thicker shorts.
Makino: The length of the socks was also very 90's, which I thought was great.
-When running, are there any points that you pay attention to in terms of coordination?
Yamamoto: Not much anymore (laughs). But I try to consciously choose colors that I would not choose myself. That way, I have more choices.
Cormorant: Me too. When I run, I change my mind and sometimes buy colors that I would not normally wear.
Makino: Cormorant's color choice is also cool.
Cormorant: Because of the strong color of the shoes, I tried to keep the top mature.
-What do you look for when choosing running clothes for everyday use?
Cormorant: Recently, short shorts are my favorite. I also like mesh caps and wear them often. As for wear, I like to wear something that makes me feel excited when I wear it and run.
Makino: Both of you are very stylish. I like to coordinate with colors.
-It matches the khaki that is the point of the shoes, giving it a cohesive look.
Makino: I always decide on the shoes first, and then choose the clothing that matches or does not interfere with the shoes.
-Makino-san, you usually coordinate your running anytime.
Makino: I used to wear only functional materials, but recently I have come full circle and started wearing other things as well. I can run in an old T-shirt and chinos. Functional materials are comfortable, but for slow jogging, I feel that cotton and denim are fine.
-Finally, in what situations would you like to wear "Glycerin MAX"?
Yamamoto: Personally, I think they are the best shoes for long, fun runs.
Cormorant: I think I will run very slowly as usual. I think I can run longer distances with these.
Makino: Of course they are perfect for long, comfortable runs, but I think they are also good for everyday wear.
