Inspired by the bold rebel spirit of the 70’s, the collection brings the running values of the GYAKUSOU International Running Association (GIRA) into a physical incarnation.
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail is at the centre of the collection, a crossover trainer that offers easy transition from the trail to the road. The duality of the Peg Trail is captured by the two colour schemes, one a classic red, white and blue expression and the other in Takahashi’s now familiar mix of earthy tones.
Additionally, Takahashi has featured a rose on each shoe, the flower’s beautiful petals and sharp thorns emblematic of the designer’s Balance/Chaos ethos.

Fast Facts on the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail:
1. The shapes and placements of the upper components have been informed by heat-mapping research.
2. The shoe has overlays placed in areas where trail runners need support and reinforcement, and also leaves as open as possible areas of the foot that show a higher temperature.
3. The lacing system, made with a strong, lightweight cable, is asymmetric to be more inline with the actual anatomy of the foot’s toe bones.
4. The upper’s mesh is treated with a water-repellent coating, and is made from material that allows a quick-dry and water drainage.
The full Nike x GYAKUSOU Collection is now available at Supply and the Nike x GYAKUSOU Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 trail is available at Sneakerboy for $230.
