There haven't been too many interviews with Jun Takahashi on his collaboration with Nike, but Port magazine have recently spoken to him about his passion for running and the Gyakusou collection.

Nike Flyknit Lunar1+

—01. Fit for purpose.

Words

You might say that Nike has been on a good run of late. Between the Flyknit Racer, Free Runs and the different Lunarglide models that released in the past year, there were more than enough choices. However, this spring the combination of the Flyknit upper and the Lunar sole is pretty much irresistible.

Nike Lunar Force 1

—01. Available now.

Words

Nike has produced a number of notable shoes recently, from running to basketball to reinvented classics. The Lunar Force 1 may be one of the best to date. There is little that could have been done to improve on one of the most iconic shoes of our time, but this natural incorporation of the Lunar technology works perfectly.

Words

It was the first trip to Berlin for the Inventory team. Fortunately we had a good city guide with us and were able to find a number of great neighbourhoods, shops and restaurants. We also stopped in at Bread & Butter to visit some of our friends and favorite brands from WP Lavori and Nigel Cabourn to Viberg and The Real McCoy's.

Nike for A.P.C.

—01. Brown suede Dunk High.

Words

Wearing a pair of Nike Dunks seems unlikely these days, but I can't help but appreciate the recent collaboration between Nike and A.P.C. I am quite attracted to the Dunks, while the Air Max 1's are also nicely done. The selection of colours are just about perfect, making it my favorite collaboration between the two brands to date.

Nike Air Flow QS

—01. Quickstrike release.

Words

Nike have released a solid range of footwear in the past year; from the GIRA runners to the Concord XI to the further integration of retro styles and new technology. The result isn't always good, but the team from Portland seem to be on a good run. This quickstrike release of the Air Flow is one of my favorites for the spring. The mix of color and fabric makes for a nice trainer, ideal running around the city in summer.

—01. Dri-Fit UV Sweat Hood.

Words

The latest Gyakusou collection is now available at select retailers and Nike stores. This spring is the first time they've made running shoes I've liked, while the rest of the collection is just as strong as usual. The mix of fabrics and the color palette are both particularly nice.
