0.0. Your usual workspace can be transformed into a running station!
It is a holiday afternoon. Men and women in backpacks gather in a crowd at an apartment in Gakugei University. This is the workspace that photographer Iori Matsudaira usually uses as his workshop. Whenever he invites his friends for a run, he always uses this place as his base.
Clockwise from the front left, the four members of today's group are Iori Matsudaira, Tetsumasa Wakita, Yuya Uemura, and Mami Wakao.
On this day, Ms. Wakita (student), Mr. Uemura (writer), and Mr. Wakao (PR/editor) gathered at the call of Mr. Matsudaira. Although they are of different ages and occupations, they seem to enjoy running together in a friendly manner.
Mr. Uemura and Mr. Wakao look at the shoes in their hands.
Do you know this?" When the four of us get together, the topic naturally turns to the running gear we have on hand. The one they were holding in their hands was the "Cloudflow" from ON, which Roger Federer's promotional video has been fresh in their minds. The minimalist design of the sole, which has been described as "running on a cloud," is eye-catching.

Matsudaira says, "ON shoes have a beautiful coloring that looks great on the street. The earthy color scheme and the flat strap, just like racing shoes, seem to be his favorite features.
While doing some light exercises, the four of us think about the course we are about to run.

Their run course is just that, random. "I heard there's a new vintage clothing store in Yutenji! I heard there's some kind of exhibition going on at a gallery in Daikanyama! I heard there's an exhibition going on at a gallery in Daikanyama! Through such casual conversation, they gradually decided on their destination and course for the day. With a slight sense of uneasiness due to their leisurely pace and the vagueness of the information they were giving us, it was time to go for a run.
