Tokyo Runners Portrait with lululemon

As a style, "running".

The running scene is about to take off into a new movement that will incorporate a wide variety of cultures because running is a simple and straightforward activity. What is now being questioned is how to run and how to enjoy it. In response, Huinum, with the cooperation of "lululemon," took portraits of runners based in Tokyo. While exploring their reasons for running, we will also explore the state of the running scene in recent years.

-What is the appeal of running?

Where you can refresh yourself. Waking up early and going for a run allows me to start the day with a refreshed mind.

-Do you have a routine for your daily runs?

After the run, I go for a cup of coffee.

-What is your “Yet” (a goal you have yet to achieve)?

Since I have never competed in an event, I would like to compete in the "Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon" this fall to figure out my standard time.

-Do you have a particular style of running clothes?

Number one is comfort. I care about the feel of the fabric. I also care about color and design. I like gray and beige neutral colors.

-What is your impression of Lululemon?

The brand has a history and an image of making comfortable wear. I think their designs are minimalistic and sophisticated. I participated in a Lululemon running session last year.

-How do you feel about the comfort and design of the "YET Race Day Kit"?

I usually wear shorts with innerwear, but these shorts were very easy to run in without innerwear. The vivid pattern is not like "Lululemon" in a good way, and it is a valuable design.
