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.

A trail runner who runs on mountain trails on the weekends.

Trail running shoes with grippy soles are a must for this outfit. That’s why I chose the “J-Rag Blue” from . I coordinated the bandana and socks in blue to add a light, fresh accent to the earth-tone look.

For those who enjoy trail running as a weekend escape, running through the mountains and nature. To handle rough terrain and rapidly changing weather, layer your gear with a focus on lightness, breathability, and storage capacity. Coordinate your entire outfit in earth tones, tie a trendy bandana around your head, and pair it with clear-lens eyewear for a sophisticated look even in the mountains. Furthermore, adding a slightly quirky patterned piece adds a touch of personality. Pack your running vest—which offers plenty of storage—with energy bars and a soft flask filled with water to ensure you’re fully prepared.
