On this day, I wore a synthetic fiber T-shirt designed by BOBBY and gloves from Mental Athletic, a media project from Italy, to protect me from the cold.

The ultra-lightweight rain jacket by Millet is perfect for protection against cold and rain. For his feet, he chose shoes by Altra, an American brand.

ATSUSHI, who works at "PAJA STUDIO," is quite skilled at soccer, so much so that he was invited to a soccer event in London the day after the photo shoot. He is also the most supple and beautiful in the way he runs.
While most of his running attire consists of a soccer uniform, on this particular day he was wearing a Hoka top, pants designed by Bobbi, and leggings. The Nike shoes he recently acquired are perfect for running on the road with their high rebound cushioning. The gorgeous colors are also very ATSUSHI-like.
The purpose of running is to exercise my body when I am not playing soccer and to think. It helps me to think positively rather than sitting around thinking. When I run with friends, I enjoy pacing with them. It's more fun than talking over a cup of tea.
