9 functional T's full of gaps. What did that person choose to wear in the 9 boxes of New Balance and how to wear it?

New Balance has released "9box," a collection of T-shirts in nine different silhouettes. The polyester material used for these T-shirts boasts high wicking and quick-drying properties, yet has a natural, cotton-like feel. In addition, it has specifications that can be used for serious sports activities such as marathon running. This basic, yet functional product is the embodiment of the saying, "A smart hawk is a hawk. We asked three people who lead two-sided lifestyles to wear this T-shirt, which is full of gaps, and delved deeper into its charms.

STYLE 01 French Sleeve Tee
Whether it's a run or a sauna.

You are both a southerner and a runner, aren't you?

n.7 French Sleeve Tee ¥8,800

Corporal:I get up early, go for a run, then do a set of saunas, then go to work. This is my weekday morning routine. The reason I run is because I want to eat what I like without hesitation. As I get older, I no longer have the constitution I had in the past, when I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight. But I want to keep in shape, and I also want to drink (laughs). That's why I run every morning.

Now I have to run to get ready for work, and I feel that running has a similar effect to the "TOTONOU(revitalize)" of a sauna.

What made you choose this silhouette?

Corporal:I sweat a lot, so I choose sportswear when I run, but a T-shirt like this that I can use on a daily basis would be very useful. I like sleeveless clothes, but I don't like macho tanks that expose the shoulder area, so sleeve lengths like this are ideal.

How about the comfort?

Corporal:It was comfortable to wear. The French sleeves keep me cool and wipe away sweat. Also, my skin is sensitive after a sauna, so it is important that it is soft to the touch. Taking this into consideration, I can say that this is one of the best pieces of clothing for me.

STYLE 02 Super Wide Tee
Cotton-like material that can be worn for business occasions.

What do you usually wear to work?

Corporal:When I work, I often wear a plain T-shirt with a big silhouette. After all, this is easy and comfortable. However, you don't want to look sloppy in business situations. In that respect, the cotton-like material of this T-shirt makes the black look tighter and more chic.

I always have meetings in a T-shirt, but I think it would look better if it were as classy as this.

How does it feel to wear this fit?

Corporal:It is thick and firm, so I felt comfortable wearing it as if it wrapped around my body. Although they are made of the exact same material, I feel that they have a different flavor from the sleeveless type I mentioned earlier, which is a strange sensation.

What is your impression of the New Balance brand?

Corporal:Other sports brands, such as shoes and clothing, tend to have aggressive designs, but I have the impression that New Balance has many items that can be accepted by everyone. On top of that, I get the impression that New Balance is thinking about functions that will make everyone feel good about using their products.
