Nike GYAKUSOU FW 19

Sep 26, 2019

For fall 2019, Jun Takahashi pulls graphic inspiration for the latest GYAKUSOU collection from the bold rebel spirit of the 1970s running revolution. This was the decade that running emerged as a pursuit disconnected from competition, and the enduring energy of the time has become a rallying point for successive generations of runners.

While Takahashi typically tackles urban running, this GYAKUSOU output considers the trail. At centre is the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail, a crossover trainer that offers easy transition from trail to road. Surrounding the shoe is a six-piece apparel assortment that includes a rain top with zip-off hood, long-sleeve top, two short-sleeve tops, shorts and a multi-functional pant. As expected, Takahashi employs cutting-edge performance fabrics for each piece, and adds to articulated storage solutions.

The duality of the Peg Trail shoe is captured by its two color schemes: one a classic red, white and blue expression and the other in Takahashi's now familiar mix of earthy tones. Additionally, Takahashi has placed a rose on the Peg Trail — the flower's beautiful petals and sharp thorns emblematic of the designer's balance/chaos ethos.
