Flyknit Racer's ability as a running shoe.
The Nike Flyknit Racer was originally created in 2012 as the first shoe with a Flyknit upper. First of all, can you tell us about any memories or episodes you have about this shoe?
pasture landNowadays, it is not unusual to see knit uppers, but at the time, it was groundbreaking and very shocking. The design was also stylish and cool, and I have the impression that people in the fashion industry were wearing them all the time.
At first I thought of these shoes as a fashion item, but when I tried them on for running, I found that they are light, breathable, have a good amount of cushioning, and are much easier to wear than I had imagined. I have come to wear them in a variety of situations, from daily jogging to races.

big riverIn my case, the order is reversed. At first, I saw them as a stiff running shoe rather than a fashion item.
I had always admired Forrest Gump and ran long distances, but about three years ago, I decided to run my first half marathon and was looking for a racing shoe that would make me run faster, when I came across the Flyknit Racer. It was love at first sight. They were just so cool.
They are lightweight, and the resilience of the midsole is strong enough to propel the runner forward, which is just right when running at high speeds. I was able to complete my first half marathon in less than 90 minutes, which I was very satisfied with.

barrierWhen I started running, the first shoes I bought were Flyknit Racers. When I decided to start running seriously, I looked around at the feet of the runners I knew and saw that many of them were wearing these shoes. I thought they looked cool, so I bought a pair and tried them on myself.
They are also very useful as everyday footwear because they are not only easy to wear but also fashionable. I often stand in stores wearing Flyknit Racer.
An updated version that has evolved to be more suitable for street wear.
And this season, an updated version of the Flyknit Racer, the Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer, is now available. What is your impression of this shoe?
Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer
pasture landWhile inheriting the good qualities of the Flyknit Racer, such as lightness, breathability, and resilience, the color and appearance have evolved to make it more suitable for street wear. As a sneaker lover from the bottom of my heart, the tricolor reminds me of the "Air 180" of the past, which makes me feel good. However, the other colors are also very attractive. I think I'll buy all the colors (lol).
big riverThe impression changes a lot depending on the color, doesn't it? The navy-based color I am wearing now has a different atmosphere from conventional running shoes, such as the color of the sole. In addition to being highly fashionable, the Flyknit Racer is also very comfortable and inherits the qualities of the Flyknit Racer. I would like to recommend these shoes to everyone.
barrierThe soft, stretchy opening makes them easy to put on and take off. I think this is only possible with lifestyle shoes.
Attractive as a fashion item from a girl's point of view.
How does the Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer look as a fashion item from a woman's point of view?
middle courseRunning shoes for street wear have become a staple among women. Nike, in particular, has a lot of clean designs that are easy to match with any styling. These sneakers also have a slim and stylish design, so I think they go perfectly with the recent trend of wide-leg pants.
fieldLike myself, I have the impression that there are so many women these days who wear high-tech sneakers with regular clothes. These sneakers are perfect for a denim style like mine today, and I think they can be worn with all kinds of styles. They are also light and comfortable to wear, so I feel like I can move briskly at work (laughs).
