Oakley's Urban Running Collection.

Many people think of Oakley sunglasses, such as the "Frogskin" brand. However, did you know that OAKLEY has launched a new line of running wear designed in Japan this season? As the name suggests, the "OAKLEY URBAN RUNNING COLLECTION" was designed with urban running in mind. The collection is characterized by the selection of materials suitable for outdoor sports, patterned designs for ease of movement, and technical designs that are easy to use on a daily basis. Wearing these clothes, I ran around the metropolis of Tokyo in a circle.

The design and thoughtful details blend in well with street corner cafes.

After finishing the run, we went to a café in town. As mentioned earlier, the "OAKLEY URBAN RUNNING COLLECTION" is designed to appear as a neighbor in the café, so it blends easily into such scenery as if camouflaged.

Anything you need for a coffee break at a café can be stored in the waist pocket of the pants. A cell phone fits snugly in this pocket, so you can concentrate on your activity without interrupting your running. Other pockets with zippers allow you to run without dropping small items such as coins.

To adapt to the cashless era, this one is also equipped with a pocket for cards. This is a secure design that prevents the card from falling out while running. The design utilizes the pattern of clothing, so these functions are not fully asserted, but are only subtle details that are attractive. The concept of "blending in" with the scenery is well embodied.

While designed as running wear, the "OAKLEY URBAN RUNNING COLLECTION" blends in with the scenery of the city, giving it potential for a variety of situations without limiting the scene. It can be used as one-mile wear for a casual stroll around the neighborhood, or depending on the item, it can be used for a short hike or leisure activities at the beach or river. It is the kind of collection that makes you want to get out of the house.
