Four ways to run, four running styles.
ALPEN RUN STYLE

Four ways to run, four running styles.

Of course, everyone has their own reasons for running, and the distances and locations vary from person to person. While running once became a massive craze, it is now becoming firmly established as a daily habit and part of our culture. Whether you’re just starting out, run 10 km every day, enjoy the treadmill at the gym, or are a trail runner racing through the mountains— We’ve envisioned four different ways of engaging with running and freely styled outfits using apparel found at “ALPEN RUN,” a running shop in Meiji Park. Through these four looks, we present running styles that combine functionality for running with fashion that blends seamlessly into city life.

People who have just started running.

Pair white shoes and socks for a cohesive look, accented with a neon-colored headband. The top and bottom feature loose silhouettes in earth tones, so you can head straight into town after your run.

Even if you’re thinking, “I want to start running” or “I want to be a cool runner,” taking that first step can take a little courage. Start by getting a pair of 〈Alpen Run (ALPEN RUN)〉 running shoes—which are easy for beginners to choose—and begin by alternating between walking and light jogging. As for clothing, there’s no need to jump straight into a full-fledged running outfit. If you choose items that are an extension of your everyday wardrobe and feel comfortable to wear, you can start running without feeling overwhelmed. Wear a T-shirt from printed with “Good Run Good Way,” imbued with positive hopes for your future as a runner.”
