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 Wide Short Tee
Soft and comfortable to the touch for a pleasant and relaxing experience.

Sato-san, you are a model as well as a gamer.

n.3 Wide Short Tee ¥8,800

Sato:I have always loved games and started getting back into it about 5 years ago . I am so passionate about it that I participate in tournaments and stream videos of myself playing on Twitch (laughs). . I do my gaming activities on my own, separate from my modeling agency. After updating my equipment last year, I often play "Apex" or "Dead by Daylight" on my gaming PC. Lately, I'm also into "The Legend of Zelda".

Please tell us why you chose the T-shirt you wore this time.

Sato:The one I chose today is a short, wide silhouette. I usually wear a large T-shirt when relaxing at home, and since I have a cat, the color is always white. So I thought it was the perfect piece for me. . In fact, when I tried it on, the fabric is thick yet soft, and the quality is typical of a sports brand.

What is your impression of the New Balance brand?

Sato:New Balance" has an image of items that blend in with daily life without being too sporty, with sneakers at the top of the list. This T-shirt is just such an example.

STYLE 02 Standard Short Tee
Basic, practical, relaxing wear.

What do you do for a break from work?

n.2 Standard Short Tee ¥8,800

Sato:I sometimes go to various places for filming, and I like to take a walk around the site afterwards. It's fun to see the different scenery and discover things like, "I didn't know there was a store like this here. . Today I walked around my hometown for the first time in a long time, and it made me nostalgic.

How do you feel about the comfort of this T-shirt?

Sato:. I like the fact that the material is soft, but the ribbing is strong and gives a decent silhouette. I think it's a good balance, whereas sporty fabrics are usually too soft or too stiff. So it's nice that the style doesn't look too rough even when worn with loose-fitting bottoms.

What do you like about "9box"?

Sato:I thought it was interesting and practical that I was wearing something with such high specifications without feeling like I was dressed for exercise. It dries quickly even if it gets sweaty, so I would like to use it on a day like today when I go for a walk, as well as for everyday wear!
